Joe and Rich,
Thanks for your comments.
I use a WMR cable form the RB to the ACC-1 connector on the Icom.  This is
the same cable I used with the old PC and true serial cables for years. 
I never used the Mic connector.  
My gut tells me that the RB should activate PTT thru ACC-1, but RB Technical
Support says it's only used for received audio.  They say I must use Mic or
CI-V.  I'm using the RB in the same way as before: Rig Control on connector
B and FSK on connector A.  Therefore I have not changed any internal RB
jumpers. I'm really confused.
Phil

What signals are connected from the RigBlaster Pro to the IC-7700 ACC jack?
Do you have *both* FSK (pin 1) and PTT (pin 3) connected to the ACC jack
(ground/common pin pin 2)?

Unless you connect PTT output from your interface to the HSEND line on
ACC[1] or the PTT line on the mic jack, your interface can not assert PTT on
the IC-7700 (an Icom transceiver).
