I use the West Mountain Radio RIGtalk which is a USB serial port to CI-V interface. Many people build their own (easy for an RS-232 serial port) or buy inexpensive converters from ebay.\n\nThe CI-V interface is an \"open-collector\" party-line. You can parallel 2-4 Icom radios using Y-adapters, then connect it to the CI-V output of the CT-17, RIGtalk, or other similar interface.\n\nDoes that answer your question?\n\n73, Steve N9IP\n--\nSteve Belter, [email protected]\n\n\n\nOn Jul 31, 2014, at 10:10 AM, Tom Warren <[email protected]> wrote:\n\n> \n> \n> Eric,\n> \n> \tThanks for you input.
