The August 1984 issue of QST (page 19) has an article on computer
controlling the ICOM IC-701 HF transceiver by it's rear panel
accessory connector. Although the article describes controlling
the radio by a dedicated Three-Chip Microcomputer which can be
built for $20 (the cost of the three chips) if you already have
some common parts. This project can easily be adapted to control
the radio by an IBM PC. Please refer to the QST article for more
information. The same interface and control commands also work
for the IC-211 and IC-245 transceivers.
