Re: DV Data over USB Repeated Transmit

Mike, I saw your thread on the 7100. Maybe my set up is having similar?issues. How did you fix it? Did you just put RT cable in? Did you reconfigure the computer?
Tom WW3TRG?
OK, I'll answer my own question. I spoke to Icom tech support. The guy I spoke to is extremely well-versed in D-Rats and DStar and is on the US Trust in Texas. Anyway, the USB connection will do this due to the way USB is set up on the computer. It sends out encapsulated packets. Apparently my radio has always done this, as will a 9700 or a 705 when using the USB cable for DV data. It does not do this with the sound card modes as this is not the same format. Using a pure serial cable in the 2.5mm data jack gets a pure serial data stream and does not have this issue, so the orange RT Systems cable works fine. I was assure the guy we have in our D-Rats group using USB and his new 705 is doing the same thing but just does not notice it. The data received on the other end is fine...just the radio keys up a few times to send data instead of just once as I am more used to.?
