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....

73,

Rein PA0R
