34CI-V ADDRES (CI-V address)

To distinguish equipment, each CI-V transceiver has its own Icom standard address in hexadecimal code. The IC-706MKIIG’s address is 4EH.

When 2 or more IC-706MKIIG’s are connected to an optional CT-17 CI-V LEVEL CONVERTER, rotate the main dial to select a different address for each IC- 706MKIIG in the range 01H to 7FH.

Address set to 58H

Address set to 7FH.

(default).

 

35CI-V BAUD (CI-V data rate)

This item sets the data transfer rate. When “Auto” is selected, the baud rate is automatically set according to the connected controller or remote controller.

Auto baud rate

19200 bps

(default)

 

36CI-V TRN (CI-V transceive)

Transceive operation is possible with the IC- 706MKIIG connected to other Icom HF transceivers or receivers. When “on” is selected, changing the frequency, operating mode, etc. on the IC-706MKIIG automatically changes those of connected trans- ceivers (or receivers) and vice versa.

Transceive ON

Transceive OFF

(default)

 

37CI-V 731 (CI-V operating fre- quency data length)

When connecting the IC-706MKIIG to the IC-735 for transceive operation, you must change the operating frequency data length to 4 bytes.

•This item MUST be set to “on” only when operating trans- ceiver with the IC-735.
