[aprssig] ic-706 mk2 cat cable

[MJ Inabnit]

Hi all:

Have a friend here that owns the 706.  I'm getting him started in 
digital modes etc and never really tried to use CAT with this radio.  
The manual is kind of ambiguous and would like to know if anyone here 
has actually done this and what is required using Vista.  I hope it can 
use a USB cable since his laptop has no serial port.  However, maybe one 
of the USB/serial adapters might have to be used.  I'd really appreciate 
any pointers and help.  The info I've found so far is rather dated.

Thank you,

73
