I just bought an ICOM CT-17 to computer control my ICOM 756PROII. The
item didn't come with a serial cable so I hooked up a standard serial
cable and I can't get it to work. Does the CT-17 need a null modem
cable between it and the computer? Any help would be greatly
appreciated.

No a standard cable should work fine. Make sure the CT-17 is powered
with a 12 volt supply, the CT-17 used Pins 1-8 and 20 on the serial
cable. Also the connecting cable to the radio should be a mono
connection. I have used a 9 pin to 25 pin cable or a adaptor with my
CT-17.
