The ICOM IC-705 Meter

 

The IC-705 has probably spawned more rig accessories than most radios in the last 20 years. We think this one is the most exciting though. The meter’s functionality includes:

 

• Mode | Filter settings | Real-time display of operating frequency
• SWR, Real Power or S-Meter, in both text & a needle on the usual radio-style scale.

Digi Rig Mobile

 

This is a tiny new digital modes interface. Its main features are described as follows:

 

• It combines an audio codec, serial CAT interface and PTT switch.

• It uses a single USB connection to the computer minimizing the cables mess.
• The CAT port can be configured for logic levels, RS-232, CI-V or TX-500.
• It works with all major Operating Systems: Windows, MacOS and Linux.
• It is permanently available, independently from the CAT port an open-collector PTT switch.
• It is controlled by the RTS signal of the COM port, to interface Handies/Mobiles, and so on.
