I don't know whether it will work or not.  I do know that you can't hurt anything by trying it.  One other thing I'm fairly sure of is that the data coming from the radio is going to prevent the QSYer from going into power saving mode, which it usually does automatically when you aren't entering data on it.  As a result, I think you are going to find that it runs through batteries much, much faster if you do this than if you use an A/B switch.

  Hi John,

  I'm a blind guy who has been using your QSYER for over two years and I'd be dead in the water without it on my Icom 7000.  Recently a friend helped me hook up a Netbook I bought to the IC-7000 to try and run Ham Radio Deluxe.  My main purpose was for logging and for control features of the IC-7000 that are difficult to remember when rooting down through all those sub-menus and the like, haha.  Anyhow, we discovered the port for HRD is the same the QSYER uses.  Can a Y connecter be used, with both the Netbook cable, and the QSYER cable?  I suppose, if that doesn't work, a small A/B switch could be used instead.  Just thought I'd ask before we started fooling around with something we don't know nothing about, haha.
