Gert,

Glad it works for you. I run with both VOX (BK) and F-BK in the OFF 
position, that way the timing problems do not apply. You must use the 
internal TR-Log keyer now (can't use an external keyer unless you also key 
the PTT line externally).

Icom doesn't seem to understand CW very well...

I just build K6XX "Contestpedition" cable for the IC706MKII. It works fine
but I'm not so happy with the PTT turn off time of the IC706MKII. Is there 
a
way to make  the turn off faster? The CW F-BK mode of the IC706 is  barely
usable for pleasant CW operation.
