Okay, very glad you got it working, and glad your cable is intended for the D700 itself. That makes things easier.

I definitely disagree about the recommendation for legacy though - "next" has a ton of fixes for this driver, among others. It might have other bugs, but I'll gladly fix them if you report them as I own this radio and want it to work. Legacy will get no further fixes *and* has known bugs that can cause real problems, so I do not recommend it for anything other than the most dire of circumstances at this point.
