[Xastir] IC-706 wiring

[Andrew Rich]

This is driving me nuts sorry

1) The 706 has an RTTY port - its a stereo plug that take in logic to shift
the tx using rtty only
2) You should not use the ACC port either
3) Use the data socket, it is designed for AUDIO IN, PTT, and AUDIO out
4) There is NO system in existance that I know of that allows XASTIR to be
used with a sound card
5) Go to a computer store, buy a keyboard extension cable, cut one end off,
and re-wire the other

On the ICOM 706, from the manual,

DATA Socket - Pin 1 AUDIO in, Pin 2 GND, Pin 3 PTT, Pin 5 AUDIO out, Pin 6
Logic Squelch (if you need it)

Are you're meaning the 13pin ACC connector?

I have a 706IIg and thought about using the ACC connector, but opted for
the smaller DIN plug based on availability of connctors with pre-wired
cables from used PC junque (mice, keyboards, etc).

The soundcard interface I built also uses modem transformers gacked off of
old PC modems - which I found for less than a $1/ea at a ham fest - cheaper
than radio hack!
