BCSIcom 1.0 released
Black Cat Systems today released BCSIcom 1.0, a new application that controls various models of Icom brand ham radios. BCSIcom enables users to set frequency, operating mode, and read back. The application supports testing USB CI-V links by polling the radio to display the frequency and mode while allowing users to set these values. BCSIcom utilizes Black Cat Systems' USB CI-V Icom Interface, which plugs into the USB port of a computer to provide connectivity for an Icom or other CI-V interface radio. An attached 6-foot USB cable plugs into a standard USB port on the computer, and one standard 1/8-inch cable connects to a radio's CI-V port to offer software-based control over the device. BCSIcom 1.0 is available for free, and runs natively on Intel-based Macs as a Universal Binary. The software requires Mac OS 9 or Mac OS X.
