    Excellent ....i've fired off an e-mail to Dave asking if he can provide any more info on this 701 control mod than he provided in his Youtube video .....this looks to be a cool thing to attempt on this old icom radio!
    Why,driving into a brick wall at 60 miles per hour, would I expect it not to hurt!

    Hi there..

    I have tried to post three times now, so forgive me if there is a multiple post. I have just completed my webpage for the newest Icom interface project. I have successfully interfaced a 211, and the 701 is the same protocol except it also requires an analog voltage for switching. I have made accomodations for this in my new design. I have not tested a 701 yet because i don't have one in my possession. If you want to check out the webpage, it is at http://home.comcast.net/~tinkyr/radi...0Interface.htm There is also a link to my youtube site so you can see videos of the interface working. This has been a lot of work, and if you have interface questions about these radios, i will be happy to share what i have uncovered.

    Hey Dave!
    Welcome to the Island! Go put you feet up on the beach and enjoy. The bartender will be along shortly.

    It is nice to see folks like who are willing to share their knowledge. I personally thank you for doing so.

    Edit: ​OK, I just looked at your page and I have to say that I am impressed. Nice Job!
