Hi,

Fro the usb cable to work as data input on the IC9700 you need to set it up correctly:

- Go to menu -> Set -> Connenctors -> USB(B)/Datafunctions:

??? ??? > Set USB (B) function to DV data

??? ??? > Set DATA function to DV Data

??? ??? > Set GPS Out to OFF

??? ??? > check DV Data/GPS Out Baud Rate to be as you would like to use (9600 is a good choice)

- Go to menu -> GPS

??? ??? > Set GPS TX Mode to OFF

- Go to menu -> Set -> DV/DD Set

??? ??? > Set DV Data TX to Auto

Between newer ICOM radios, fast data is possible, but wit older ones (e.g. IC7100) you need to turn it off.

Well I did an small test. I took the RT system cable for the ID 5100 and placed it on the data jack port of the ic 9700. It was givin me a 20 com serial port so thats what I placed on radios on the Drats program.? Afther that I requested a Ping all stations and Voila. I know the IC 9700 has an special cable for data por some opc cable, so I ll buy it and let you all know. But so far in my case I? ll need to use the data jack port in order to make my radio to work with Drats.?
