The standard Icom CI-V cable has a monaural plug on the end that plugs into the standard CI-V port with the wires connected to the sleeve and tip of the plug. This is NOT the case with the ID-5100. Page 13-16 in the ID-5100 Advanced Manual indicates the proper wiring of the CI-V plug which is different for IC-5100. Icom does not yet supply any software for the CIN System. 2-2Changing CI-IVto CI-V To control a CI-IV radio remotely with the CI-V System.

Thanks Intellifax. I do NOT own a CT-17 device, but have used this cable on other equipment successfully using the HRD software. It is connected to the REMOTE and into the computer. The receiver seems to be operating normally and I do not suspect dry caps.

The software REQUIRES that your receiver be in VFO mode and not memory mode. This receiver does NOT offer that choice and I do not want to CLEAR all the memories programmed. Sensiva For Windows 7.
