It may be necessary to set transceive on or off ( try both!) in the set
menu, and it might be necessary to set poll to off in the logging software.
Took me a while to get mine going.

Subject: [CQ-Contest] CT-17 Problem
I just purchased a used CT-17 CIV converter for my IC756PRO. I can't seem
to get it working.
It didn't come with an instruction manual or any of the cables. I happened
to find a .pdf of the
manual online.
I have checked my cables and the CIV jack on the back of the IC756PRO
and they are OK.
From what I understand the CIV (or remote) jack on the 756PRO should
measure between +4 and +5 volts. When you turn on the CIV transcieve option
from the menu on the radio and turn the VFO the voltage should drop
somewhat. I have double checked to make sure the baud rate is set correctly
on both the radio and programs. I have also checked my computer and there
are no conflicts on the serial port - COM1.
I have tried it with CT (for Windows), N1MM and NA and I can't get it to
communicate with any of these
programs.
Does anyone know if the RS232 cable is wired special ? I used the one that
I have for my TS850S radio control box - just a DB25 - DB9 cable. I am using
a 3.5mm mono plug from the CT-17 to the CIV jack on the radio. It powers
up just fine when 12 volts is applied.
Anyone else ever have these problems ???
Thanks, Jeff KU8E
