[chirp_users] Icom 92AD cable
I have a question for those of you using the Icom 92AD with Chirp....
Did you have to buy the Icom software package RS92 just to get the USB cable necessary?

I bought the RS-92 software. It used to be the only way to get a cable. I'm not sure that's true anymore. Mike, N0SO

That is how I got mine. It was in the box with the software. However I am not real sure but I think you can buy one separate. I also had to buy another cable since my computer only has USB ports. So I had to get the cable that converts the RS232 cable to USB. Don't know if by now they have one for just a USB. I have not looked. I know that the software and cable are high priced. I was just lucky that at the time I had the money to buy the radio, software and GPS mike. Then I had to go buy the other cable.
Not sure that is good news but that is all I know. I have had my radio about 4 years.

I bought the cable for my Yaesu 857D from VirtualVillage. com, 19 bucks with free shipping. it has the Yaesu name on it and works just fine, you might check there. Ed KB3WRX

The 92AD uses a super-proprietary connector, which many D-STAR folks have been trying to source for a very long time. I'm not aware of any success in that regard, so I believe buying the cable and software is the only way to go. They used to sell the cable for data applications only, without the software, but stopped reportedly due to piracy of their software.
