Hi!
You just need cheap usb-rs232 dongle (ebay $2-$3), one TTL chip 74LS05,
10k and 4k7 resistors. All together well under $10, should say under $5.
I just blow my Ci-V level converter that was made with MAX232 chip and
made new one with those.
Usb-rs232 dongles do not have rs232
Hello John and maybe others who might be interested.
a simple chinese built multi pupose interface might be you saving grace
for your Icom 7700, I use them on multiple Icom rigs, (7600, 910, 275H,
475H etc).
Look for "2018 U5 USB PC linker" on ebay (may ned to set your setting to
world wide)
True, but with a rig that has an Ethernet port, more hardware shouldn't be necessary. I know the Flex 6xxx works well with WSJT-X via the network. I guess we need someone to clone the code so that it uses Icom's CAT commands and IP ports. It's not a Fortran thing, so I don't have that

According to the manual there is a DB-9 connector for CAT control.
Just need a USB adapter since the 7700 is already in WSJT-X with
serial port control.

There have been some good designs for replacements for the

Has ANYONE successfully deployed WSJT-X on an Icom IC-7700, using the Icom
RS-BA1 software for the virtual serial porting via the ethernet port on the

ports to couple a PC; the only way to allow a PC app to interface via the
