Gene,
Im not a technician or ICOM guru but the Clone > CPU circuit is used
with the cloning cable which allows you to connect two radios and transfer
programming data.
The OPTV is a port for optional unit voltage control signals. (Switching
(MIC) or [DET] circuit.) When LOW Optional unit is active.
I dont have the GPS microphone and nobody has told the forum how it is
wired. I do know that the microphone is sending GPS Signal Data to the
radio even when the microphone isnt being keyed
so this may be what the
OPTV control circuit is being use for
anybody know for sure?
I think LTW Technology Inc. may be the manufacture of the ICOM connector
on the IC-92AD. ICOM uses them for a variety of their cables and
connectors.. I spoke with an ICOM technician and he couldnt identify if LTW
actually makes the cables for IC-92AD because he cant find any markings on
their components but if anyone finds out he would like to know as well. He
pretty much told me if we wanted to use a speaker microphone and data at the
same time then we just need to get and IC-91AD. I think thats stupid when
all we need is for ICOM to provide proper cables
he seemed to think the GPS
Microphone cable would not work for that purpose.

That darn connector! Thanks a ton Barry for replying off list to help
with my confusion. I still have some minor questions for the group:
Pin 3: Clone > CPU and
Pin 9: OPTV > CPU
What are they for in plain English?
Also (and yeah, I'm missing something very basic here):
Is pin 2 the PTT? Grounding this pin TRANSMITS?
Thanks to all!
