OK, I am in the testing Faze!!!!


I will tell you I am really upset at Icom at this point!!! I Split the
separation cable to find out that all the wires are coated with epoxy even under
the shielding like stranded magnet wire....

Ok, 3 hours later i was able to solder an 8 pin connector to one side, About an
hour later I gave it a go on the other side it took about 2 hours very very
tinny wires. Icom just killed any repeat or future business I had with them. All
and all it worked but took way longer then expected but all connection are
mounted some finial routing of wires and she should be done.

At nearly $50.00 a cable an average hobbyist would not be able to fix the cable
if it got cut somehow.

The bolts that will hold the aluminum chassis in to the case will also be rubber
feet.


Sorry no photos tonight.... Will Post when I can need some sleep eyes are not as
good as they were few years ago and the tips of my fingers are no longer used to
the hi-temps of the soldering iron.

Icom BAAAAD BAAAD BAAAD!!! you deserve the Chinese or Koreans to make clones of
your cables!!!! maybe now your radios!!!
