Full Accessory Connector breakout for these Icom radios:
IC703, IC706, IC706mkiig, IC718, IC746, IC756, IC756PRO, IC756PRO-II, IC756PRO-III, IC775, IC775DSP, IC7000, IC7100, IC7200, IC7300, IC7410, IC7600, IC7610, IC7700, IC7800, IC7850, IC7851, IC9700
And any other Icom radio with 7 & 8 pin DIN or 13 pin DIN accessory connectors.
- Includes ALL published signals
- Fully assembled PC board
- Audio in & out are capacitively isolated
- Provisions for audio transformers for full ground isolation
- Audio output mute circuit for radios that don't include squelched audio
- Provides Icom OPC-599 adapter functionality for 13 pin DIN radios
Requires male-to-male 13 pin DIN or 7 and 8 pin DIN cables depending on your radio model. DIN cables are NOT included.
NOTE: Several 13 pin DIN cables on the market have pin 13 connected to the shield. This will defeat the audio mute on squelch circuit. All other functions are unaffected.
Cables listed as AT-180 data compatible cables have all 13 pins separate from the shield.
We are working to source DIN cables directly in the store. Until then, cables can be ordered from a variety of ham radio and electronics suppliers.
An enclosure is NOT included. STL files are provided to 3D print an enclosure, if desired. The circuit board is sized to fit in an LP-70 box from Polycase.com. Standard polycase enclosures do not have pre-cut connector holes.

After watching Tom's "Icom Accessory Connector Signals" video, I knew I needed to have this. His detailed explanation of each signal was very enlightening. I have an IC-9100 and IC-7100.
Already considering several project that will utilize the board. I'm not a fan of working with DIN connectors. It will be so much simpler pulling signals from the RCA connectors.
I'm a former PCB designer in a previous life and applaud Tom's layout skills. The form factor is excellent as is the spacing, making for easy access to each jack.
BTW- It was Tom's IC-7100 videos that prompted me to purchase one. I was struggling to get FT-8 to work reliably with the IC-9100 (it has a know issue with USB interface). Under Tom's tutelage I had FT-8 running is less than an hour.
Thanks Tom, your video are OUTSTANDING!!!
I have not used the board yet. However, I am confident that Tom has made it well.
