Gery,

I think some of  the older Icom's including the 751 need  an optional unit 
to  allow connection to, and control by, a pc.  Don't know if Icom still 
sells this item, but there are aftermarket units out there and probably 
cheaper.

I know it's hard to resist, but until you  know what you are doing, I'd be 
careful about  just pushing buttons to see what happens.  Besides  changing 
things you may have to undo later, you also run the risk of  putting the rig 
into transmit.  Besides being a violation at this point, you could also do 
damage depending on  band, power setting and  condition of antenna.  Not 
sure you can put it into tx witha button push,  like a Kenwood, but i'd be 
careful.

73, Steve KW3A
