Jim, I have Both the 92ad and the 2820 and I program them both with RT software using the same RDF file I have an OPC cable and will look to see what number it is (it fits the front programming / control jack and I have found that using the RT ct-29 cable (there basic cable) that you can plug into speaker port one to also program the 2820.
please more detail on what you are doing to set up and what errors you are seeing.
