[chirp_users] Icom Ic-737-737A

[Kemp LaMunyon Sr.]

Hey Jardy, and All,  The japanese usb to 8th cable and driver on ebay will not work with win 8.1 from what they tell me. think it is a driver thing so I am researching that. why wouldn't the prolific drivers work on it. Any Ideas on the usb cable and where and what? Chirp works great with My bao bf-f8 handheld. Thanks guys.
now on to icom. They said
For this radio, you will need to have the CT-17 level convert and connect it to the Remote port on the radio.  If you use a program such as Ham Radio Deluxe, you will be able to do some basic rig control with that.  However, the CT-17 is of a very dated design.  You will need to use a serial-to-USB adapter in order to connect the CT-17 to your computer.  We suggest using a Key Span adapter, part number USA19HS and this adapter will allow you to interface with most operating systems.  I hope that this will be helpful.
Is anyone with an icom have any suggestions (besides dumping it and getting a newer rig.)<VBG>From: Joseph.P.Scanlan at n7xsd.us

Kemp,
I took a quick look at the IC-737A manual and icomciv.py.  It should be possible to make a driver based on the IC-746 but I have no way to test it.
Are you interested in offering your time and effort in testing the driver?  Beware, it could get frustrating.

Have you looked at the list of supported radios on the CHIRP homepage?

Hi all,  Been a lurker for some time, I have 2 radios, Baofeng Bf-F8. Chirp and BF work awesome. I recently purchased an IC-737 . I am using a longwire from tree to tree. My question is will Chirp work with the Icom?
Can someone point me to the cable diagram and basic Info?
ThanksKemp
