To all concerned,
Is anyone going to Dayton Hamfest?
I think its time we really start hitting up ICOM on this IC-92 connector
problem. All they have to do is provide us a cable which supplies all nine
usable pins to a connector so that we can start making up our own
configurations. It was stupid to use the 12 pin connector on the radio when
they already were using the 9 pin connectors on their marine band radios. No
one at this point seems to know the source of the connector so that we as a
group could order some 12 pin (9 Usable) 9 wire cables. Call it a IC-92
Breakout Cable if you will. But come on ICOM provide us the connector with
all nine wires. Anyone listening?
Has anyone ordered a GPS Microphone replacement cable to see what pins
are available on it? Its silly that ICOM cant listen to its customers a
sell a cable that allows us to experiment with the IC-92 radios. After all
isnt that what amateur radio is about, EXPERIMENTING!
Unlike the IC-91 where you can connect a speaker microphone and data
cable to the radio, currently you can only connect one or the other on the
IC-92. With the IC-92 data cable connected to a computer for frequency
control and data transmission you can however still work voice through the
handhelds internal microphone and speaker using the PTT at the same time
your transmitting data from the computer. It just gets uncomfortably hot
when on high power after a few minutes.

Would a remote spk / mic hookup and a 3 wire rs232 cable with 'RS91
Control' software let you remote the radio, control the radio via the
control sw, and handle audio and ptt via the spk / mic? steve nu5d
