[TowerTalk] 756 Pro ll

You can also use the ICOM OPC-478 programming cable together with a standard 1/8" stereo-to-mono adapter to accomplish the same thing.  Better than a CT-17 because it's self-powered from the RS-232 lines, and it's considerably cheaper.

Yes, I control mine through the CI-V port.  It's the 1/8" jack next to the
straight key jack.  You need either the CT-17 interface box from Icom, or an
aftermarket adapter.  And some software of course.  Most logging programs
will handle it.

Good luck
