Jim, It's very easy as they are designed for those signals to be accessable, much like the Motorola radios. There is a cable, part OPC-617, that plugs inside the radio and brings those signals out to a female DB-9 connector. You have to cut a few traces in the radio depending on the options you need and the signals are then on the 9 pin connector, and they will still function as normal mobiles. Hope this helps.

Often it has been IC-221S or IC- 121S units and sometimes IC-111S or IC-211S units. My question is, does anyone here know how difficult it is to get the signals you might need (like PTT, audio in/out, COS, etc) from these rigs? I've searched the ICOM site pretty thoroughly, and haven't come up with much information. Regards Jim WB8AZP Yahoo! Groups Links Yahoo!
