• 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.
