The same common code is used by Win-Test for almost every Icom rig. The only thing that changes is the CI-V Address plus a few settings to read VFO B. The IC-705 is much newer than the IC-9700 so perhaps AUTO mode works better there? There's no reason to use it instead of specifying the specific matching baud rate.</div><div><br></div><div>73,</div><div>Bob, N6TFV</div></div></div>
