Courtney - - as to hardware flow control with the CT-17. The schematic for the CT-17 shows that only 3 pins on the DB25 are hooked up. Ground, RX and TX. All the rest are floating. So there is no flow control at all.

This is where you want to hook up your rig Blaster. This accessory jack plug I think comes with each radio. Check your owners 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 problems. 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 cable I describe should be available locally in a consumer electronics store, such 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 but 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 any of these connections...only thing I can think of would be using DTR perhaps for push to talk, but that would be on another com port most likely.
