I call those extensions, not incompatibilities- The FT-817 also has the same one. Note that Pauli and I arrived at that connector independently of each other. >> It is useable on HF on the IC-706 and IC-7000 >IC-703, IC-706mkIIg and IC-7000 only. Icom did not add it to >either of their newest transceivers (7200 or 7700). It's apparently aimed mostly at VHF/UHF rigs for packet, and since those larger rigs don't cover that market.... It is there on the IC-746PRO, which does cover 2M. There are VHF/UHF only rigs that have a compatible connector. The Kenwood 733 has one, with the 9600 connection, too, just like the ICOM and Yaesu radios. I have no solid information about any of the Alinco's. That's pretty close to a standard. 73, doug ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:Elecraft@mailman.qth.net This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html
