■General

The IC-R20 can be connected to a PC via the PC’s RS-232C port using an optional CT-17 CI-V LEVEL CONVERTOR. This allows you to control the receiver from the PC and/or transfer data from the receiver to the PC.

Control is provided via Icom’s CI-V Communication Interface.

An appropriate application for CI-V command is not sup- plied from Icom.

■Data format

The CI-V system can be operated using the following data formats. Data formats differ according to command numbers. A data area is added for some commands.
