ICOM IC-781<=> PACCOMM PTC-1
 

HELLO,
FIRST I KNOW ALL ABOUT TYPING IN CAPS BUT I HAVE MS AND SO I ALSO HAVE
VISION PROBLEMS.

THAT BEING TAKEN CARE OF, I HAVE AN IC-781 AND JUST BOUGHT A NEW PACCOMM
PACTOR CONTROLLER. I'M HAVING A DEVIL OF THE TIME TRYING TO GET THOSE TWO TO
COMMUNICATE WITH THE LAPTOP. I RUNNING TELIX IN THE COMMAND LINE MODE BUT I
NOW SUSPECT THAT THE LAPTOP MAY NOT BE PUTTING OUT ENOUGH VOLTAGE TO TELL
THE PTC-1 THAT IT'S CONNECTED. ALL THE LEDS LIGHT UP EXCEPT FOR HUFFMAN,
HISPEED AND ERROR LEDS WHICH AREN'T SUPPOSE TO.

I HAVE THE PTC-1 CONNECTED TO THE ACC(1) SOCKET ON THE REAR AND THE PACCOMM
SUPPLIED DB-9 CABLE TO THE LAPTOP. I DID TRY TO GET THE IC-781 TO SUPPLY
POWER TO THE PTC-1 THROUGH PIN 7 ON THE ACC(1) SOCKET BUT IT DIDN'T WORK.
CAN ANYONE HELP HERE? I'M TRYING TO GET THIS UP AND RUNNING SO I CAN PASS
MORALE AND WELFARE TRAFFIC FOR ARMY MARS.

THANKS AND TAKE CARE.
