BCSIcom 1.0

Now connecting your Icom radios to your computer has never been easier!
The USB CI-V Interface plugs into the USB port of a Windows, Macintosh or Linux computer, allowing an Icom (or other CI-V interface) radio to be connected and controlled via the CI-V (CIV) protocol. An attached 6 ft USB cable plugs into a standard USB port on your computer. One standard 1/8" cable to connect to your radios CI-V port is included.

The USB Icom CI-V Interface is powered off the USB bus, no external power is required.

It is effectively equivalent to the combination of an Icom CT-17 along with a USB to serial interface, without the tangle of wires and extra power supply. It will work with any radio that has a standard Icom CI-V interface jack. Such radios include:
IC-1275, IC-275, IC-375, IC-475, IC-575, IC-7000, IC-703, IC-706,
IC-707, IC-718, IC-725,IC-726, IC-728, IC-729, IC-735, IC-736, IC-737,
IC-738, IC-7400, IC-746, IC-756, IC-761, IC-765, IC-775, IC-78,
IC-7800, IC-781, IC-820, IC-821, IC-910, IC-970, IC-R10, IC-R20,
IC-R7000, IC-R7100, IC-R72, IC-R75, IC-R8500, IC-9000L

Please check the manual for your radio to make sure that it has a CI-V port, and whether or not you need any special wiring. The USB CI-V Interface comes with cables designed to work with a STANDARD CI-V port.

Note that some radios, such as the Icom R-20, have a special CI-V jack that also has audio. Youll need to make a special cable for such radios, to only pass the ground and CI-V signal, and not the audio.
