Vajak,
Using the ICOM Data cable you can connect the ICOM 92AD to a computer
but the discussion here has been having an ICOM connector for the radio
capable to connect the data connection, microphone, and speaker at the same
time. ICOM did not wire all nine pins in their data cable!
So what I was trying to indicate there is a DB9 Standard for Computers
that standard is not the same as the pin out for the connector on the radio.
RS-232 standards(EIA-232) are defined by EIA/TIA (Electronic Industries
Alliance /Telecommunications Industry Association). RS-232 defines both the
physical and electrical characteristics of the interface. The ICOM pin out
does not meet the standard. I was not saying there are not RS232 signals
available
just that if you wire all the pins on the ICOM connector to a DB9
Serial Connector youre going to have problems and most likely damage the
radio. Is this an erroneous statement?
RS-232 DB9 Pin Signal ICOM Chassis 12 Pin
1 DCD In Data Carrier Detect 1 Microphone
2 RxD In Receive Data 2 +5v
3 TxD Out Transmit Data 3 Clone à CPU
4 DTR Out Data Terminal Ready 4 RS232C RX232
5 GND - Ground 5 RS232C TX232
6 DSR In Data Set Ready 6 Ground
7 RTS Out Request To Send 7 Speaker
8 CTS In Clear To Send 8 Ground
9 RI In Ring Indicator 9 OPTV à CPU
10 NC
11 NC
12 NC
I yield to those that understand this better than I do
but I am not going
to wire a connector pin for pin on my radio to the RS232 Standard DB9 and
plug it into a computer until someone else proves it wont damage a radio.
See the attached chassis pin out for the ICOM radio and the DB9 Standard!

I do not really understand it - the 92D has a full RS232-In/Out and can
directly be connected to the RS232 of an PC. The service manual shows it
also.

it looks like you do not look an the service manual, isn't so?
And have a look at the HM-75A, there are remotefunctions ...
And what is with the "HM 174" does it use perhaps the same cable like the
gps-version?
