Has anyone found an affordable substitute for the funny connector on
the IC-92AD (and presumably other models)? $50 for a speaker mic
adapter and $100 for a data cable is outrageous.
I've had no luck so far with my usual suppliers. If there's enough
demand, though, I could see about having a
There is a solution!
But if you look at this like most of us anything past FREE is never
affordable.
Mark, KJ4VO at the HRO Atlanta store and I have been researching this.No
one has the proprietary connector, period. I have not been able to locate
the custom waterproof connector
Scott,
I'd take 100 or so of them, either if the existing part was
found, or if new ones are made.
Cheers,
Fred

What did you expect ICOM to do with a connector that carries power,
audio, GPS data, push-to-talk line, and grounds for all of those
(probably separate grounds for each)? I just looked at mine and there
are 12 pins in there. If they made separate connectors for each then
it probably would
And,,, Three of those pins are spares! But remember that the whole thing
is water proof to the test specs of the entire radio. BUT. It is what it
is guys.
AND it is obtainable like most things in life for $$$.

I'm not objecting to the use of that connector - though it would have
been nice if they'd used a readily available connector. It looks a
lot like a Hirose LF series, which isn't exactly cheap, but at $12
it's not bad and it's ruggedized and waterproof.
If I can get equivalent cables made in
Scott,
What I find interesting is ICOM has numerous connectors In their MARINE
RADIO line which are waterproof and quite similar to this connector. except
the maximum number of pins in them is 9. Since only 9 of the 12 pins are
used in the ICOM 92AD.. Wonder why they inserted a twelve pin
Scott,
I looked at the Hirose LF Series connector and the pin location shown in
their .pdf page 5 (http://www.hirose.co.jp/cataloge_hp/e13600011.pdf ) isn't
anything close to the ICOM connector not to mention the alignment of the
Hirose LF Series Connector is a slot instead of a flat side
