Icom IC-706MKIIG

The IC-706MKIIG is the iconic HF/6m/2m/70cm all-mode mobile. Control is CI-V (CT-17 / USB-to-CI-V cable); audio comes from the ACC connector to a USB radio interface. Control is CI-V — connect a CT-17 level converter or a USB-to-CI-V cable (CP210x/FTDI) to the node computer. There is no built-in USB codec, so receive/transmit audio comes from the rear ACC/DATA connector to a USB radio interface (DMK URI, RA-series DRA, RIM, etc.). PTT: key over CI-V, or from the interface's PTT line to the ACC connector. Set the CI-V address before deployment.
