Hi Rein,
Very interesting! I have a IC-7200 that I had some problems getting to work
as a server but with your excellent info maybe I will succeed. Will try to
do some test during next week after completing my VAT form and tax form for
the company. Takes a lot of time!!!

I have installed a new IC-7200 at the pskmail server @ PI4TUE.
The 7200 seems like an excellent rig for use as a server. Only connection
needed between the computer and the rig is a USB cable. The sound card is a
pretty simple device inside the IC-7200. There are no controls, so you
cannot do anything wrong even if you wanted to... The audio levels for the
soundcard are fixed, only the modulation output can be changed (USB level).
The 7200 has an IF DSP filter centered on 1500 Hz. Frequency control is via
the same USB cable (/dev/ttyUSB0).
I have included a PTT command in the new server image (1.0.43, in alpha),
which neatly switches the TX on and off at the right times.
To activate PTT control via hamlib, add a parameter to the pskmailrc.pl
config:
$PTTCOMMAND = 1;
This should also work on some other rigs which are supported by hamlib.
Neat stuff....
