TIPS FOR THE USB PORT SETTINGS

SECTION 1 ABOUT “DTR” AND “RTS”
Applicable products: IC-7300, IC-7851 (as of March 2016)
When connecting the above Icom amateur base transceivers to a PC using a USB cable, and operating an
RTTY or logging software application, set either the “DTR” or “RTS” items in the transceiver Set mode
settings of “USB SEND,” “USB Keying (CW),” and “USB Keying (RTTY).”
This section describes how to set these items.

DTR stands for Data Terminal Ready, and RTS stands for
Request To Send. They originated from the RS-232C standard,
which is a unified standard for the control signal line.
The SEND and CW/RTTY keying signals from the PC through the
DTR and RTS terminals of the RS-232C port or the sound card
are applied to the ACC socket on the transceiver. On some
transceivers with an RS-232C port, these signals are directly
applied from the DTR and RTS terminals on the PC’s RS-232C
port through an RS-232C cable.
