Good Morning All,
Still trying to get the 7800 wired up right to the pc to get DX
Lab working. What I am using from the 7800 to the pc is a db9
straight through cable. In the 7800 manual it says the rs232 jack
is wired as a modem (dce). Should the stright through cable work
or do I need a null modem cable? Thanks,
Steve, WD8NPL

I am running an Icom 7800 which I had hooked up to
DX Lab until about a year ago when we moved. I cannot remember
for the life of me how I had it hooked up but am thinking a
ran an RS-232 cable from the rig to the pc. I cannot get it to
run now and am thinking perhaps I do not have the right cable.
Can someone please advise this OM?
+ You must connect a COM port on your computer to an Icom CI-V
interface, which is in turn connected to the Remote jack on the
backpanel of your IC-7800. You can build or buy the CI-V
interface; see

here.
