[NA-User] Icom 746, again

[Jimk8mr@aol.com]

Randy,

There was a problem a few versions ago where the radio configuration list 
would not register the IC-746 choice.  It had something to do with being the 
last radio on the list.  You could select the IC-746, it would seemingly take 
it, but if you exited and reentered config.exe, there would be no choice 
selected.

This was supposedly fixed a version or two ago.  

I could work around this by setting the IC-746 address (in the radio) to that 
of another ICOM radio such as an IC-765, and then picking that radio from the 
list in config.exe.

I am now using an interface that I believe is similar to the W1GEE one - it 
was written up on eham.net about a year ago.  It takes all power from the 
computer CTS and/or DTR lines.  Works FB.

Good luck!
