On the back of the pro you have a Dim plug-in I think it is a 8 pin. Thi= s is where you want to hook up your rig Blaster. =
This accessory jack plug I think comes with each radio. Check your owner= s manual and call Rig Blaster if you need more info. I first hooked up to the radio ear phone jack and had all sorts of proble= ms. Have fun with the rig Blaster! I used it for PSK and mmslowscan. 73 Ab0MD Douglass A Tate Sr. -------------Forwarded Message----------------- From: "Ron Stordahl", INTERNET:[EMAIL PROTECTED] To: , INTERNET:[email protected] "Kevin Emenhiser", INTERNET:[EMAIL PROTECTED] = Date: 4/23/02 10:04 AM RE: Re: [DXBase] serial interface to icom 756pro = As to the 756Pro frequency control, the cable you will need will be a 'modem' cable which will connect between your computer (probably a 9 pin)= to the CT-17 (which is a 25 pin). Here is a description of the cable 9 pin female 25 pin male 1 to 8 2 to 2 3 to 3 4 to 6 5 to 7 6 to 20 7 to 5 8 to 4 9 to 22 shell to shell (ground) Actually only a few of these lines are really needed. The CT-17 booklet describes what you actually need, I think 3 wires will do it. But the ca= ble I describe should be available locally in a consumer electronics store, s= uch as Radio Shack or Best Buy. The CT-17 connects to the radio with a cable with 1/8th inch mono plugs...that could be a little hard to find, but it should have come with= the CT-17. The CT-17 is way overpriced..there is at least one simple replacement for= it at a fraction of the cost...I think I saw it at http://www.hosenose.com b= ut could be wrong. It could have been on the NA contest program page. As to the rigblaster I don't have one but I don't see how it would use an= y of these connections...only thing I can think of would be using DTR perha= ps for push to talk, but that would be on another com port most likely.
