README for the icom package
To connect your radio to your computer, you need a CI-V interface. You
can buy one from ICOM, or obtain the circuit diagram quite readily on the
web. The circuit converts from the RS-232 levels of your serial port
to the TTL levels used by the radio. You can drive several ICOM radios
using one interface, but you must set unique addresses inside each radio.
The ICOM program uses the device /dev/icom to communicate with your radio.
You should symbolic link the appropriate serial device to /dev/icom. For
example, if your CI-V interface is on your second serial port, you should do
ln -s /dev/ttyS1 /dev/icom
(as root). To run the program as a normal user, you must have access to
the serial device, which means you need to belong to group `dialout' on
Debian systems. You can add yourself to that group using the command
(again as root)
adduser myusername dialout
