CT-17B (ICOM CI-V Hubs) FTDI USB
Did you know we ONLY use FTDI USB Chipsets in our ICOM CI-V hub CT-17B product line for your Ham Radio Station, other well-known USB chipsets have been known to be cloned and full of bugs, that is why we ONLY use FTDI chipsets.
CT-17B (ICOM CI-V Hubs) Cables.
Did you know that you should NEVER use stereo cables on a CI-V network? The ICOM CI-V network infrastructure in your Ham Radio station is designed for Mono cables and 1/8 plugs.
Even dought ICOM radios will work with stereo cables (and our CT-17Bs also!) other non-ICOM products may short the signals to grounds causing you communication issues.
