There are three v5 "builds" Chose a flavor, any flavor.
Most recent Beta Release on top. All v5 releases are Beta.

Hard to find? Go to HRD website, click "Downloads" on bar at top......

The 718 cat commands donot support PTT.  You need a seperate PTT line from your computer to the 718.  For my 718  I use the second rs232 port for the PTT control.  You access the PTT via the 13 pin acc socket.  The pinout is in the 718 manual.  More information about this is on the HRD site.  Some folks have made a homebrew interface that combines the audio I/O and the PTT.  But no PTT via the CIV port.
