Setup of the CAT interface
The MDSR software controls the transceiver via the CAT port. The
connector cable CI-V is the Icom version of the interface cable that plugs
into the back of the radio and the RS-232 port of the computer. There are
also virtual RS-232 cables available that connect via the USB bus to the
computer.

To enter setup menu in MDSR-SA, select the tool icon at the bottom right and
select “OmniRig Configuration & Status”, select the key icon “Configure OmniRig”.
