W2ENY's USB CT-17 CIV Interface - NOW IN KIT FORM !! An alternative to my other computer interface that now uses a Mini-USB port for controlling your Icom radio(s) by computer USB connection. NO RS232 PORT, NO PROBLEM NOW! The old CT-17 interface connected to a standard RS-232 PC comm port and controlled up to four different Icom devices from a single PC. Icom's CT-17 interface was legacy serial RS-232 and is not a pretty solution these days with 9 to 25 pin converters and USB to 232 adapters. This interface kit is a true USB transceiver interfacing to the Icom CIV standard (remote connector on your radio). There's no conversion to or from RS-232 and provides CIV logic for Icom transceivers (up to 4) as did the original Icom CT-17. Interface connects, operates and is powered by the computer USB port, supports up to 4 radios. I have one pic showing the wiring to a single radio, pretty simple. Other pics are of the interface in use with my Icom 756, other pics showing freq/mode on my computer. I simply don't have time to keep up with orders, so I'm offering the board, LED, resistor, capacitor, CD and wiring diagram as a kit - you to add an enclosure, 1/8" connectors, USB cable and wiring. This is fully compatible with popular contesting software (Icom RS-BA1, CT, WriteLog, TRLog, DX4WIN, HRD, etc.) and many 3rd party applications.
