ICOM IC-718 Interface Problem

[N3CKI]

Has anyone successfully interfaced their IC-718 to N3FJP's ACLOG software?  I am testing out ACLOG but can't get it to communicate with my IC-718.  The interface I am using is the BuxComm RASCAL.  Whenever I test the ACLOG interface I get "no response" in both the "freq" and "mode" displays.

If anyone has successfully done this I would much appreciate knowing the settings you used in ACLOG's "settings, rig interface" menu, the PC serial comm port, and the IC-718.  

Thanks.

Ermm...isn't the Rascal an audio-only interface? I don't think that it has computer control capabilities.

If this is the case - and I am 99.99% sure it is - then you will need a CT-17 or clone CAT interface.
