Hello Denneny I run a setup almost exactly the same as you. I have no problems except i rarely use cw and my computer is different. Indeed I have 2 IC775s connected via the CT-17 to the remote socket(s) on the radio(s) and the 25 pin to 9 pin computer interface that you have. So assuming all those physical connections are good, then:
On the radio I have it set to 46H and Aut Baud rate.(Automatic). In TOOLS OPTIONS In Log Defaults Load Band/Mode is ticked IN HF Radio the Connect HF Radio Serial Interface is clicked on as is the Default DTR High ticked I use COM2 but you can find out from your computer which com port is used I then have Baud Rate 4800 Parity NONE Word Length 8 Stop Bits 2 Can't think of anything else at the moment. The operation is smooth both to populate band/mode and items from the CD ROM RAC in my case. I also use an internet cluster and will populate the log from that. If it doesn't work still let me know. Happy New Year and hope you get it working soon.
