This box supports up to 4 radios and is overly expensive. There are seve= ral low cost alternatives which control a single radio which should be enough= for most everyone. I don't have the URL's right at hand but I can find t= hem later. You will need my radios.ini files which are corrections to the ones that DXbase distributtes, but which will be incorporated into dXBase2003 I am pretty sure. They are attached. Personally I am mad at ICOM for leaving out needed functionallity in thei= r computer interface, and for being impossible to deal with. I don't buy another ICOM unless they get their act together!!! And I am a long time user with 2 ICOM 781's, a 706 and now a 756 Pro II.
