I've got my new IC-706 and my used Pactor-IIe and will need an
interconnecting cable.

The IC-706 came with its ACC din plug/pigtail and the Pactor came with a
ready made cable for an IC-M710 to Pactor-IIe. Apparently the plug pin out
is different on the M710 end.

I can cut off the M710 end of this cable but I'm having trouble
understanding the different vendors terminology

What I need is a 'Idiot proof pin-to-pin direction' .

The two equipment references are in this .pdf:

If anyone has this pin-to-pin or can help me out, it would sure relieve my
head ache..

I'm sure some 3rd party has this cable already made up but I always have to
DIY until I screw it up.

From Airmail's built-in HELP (check it out--it has good diagrams). All of
SCS' modems have the same pinout.


PTC-II Audio Icom M706 ACC
(8-pin DIN) (13-pin DIN)
---------------- ---------------

(Tx audio) Pin 1----(vio)-----Pin 11 (Mod)
(Rx audio) Pin 4----(grn)-----Pin 12 (AF out)
(PTT) Pin 3----(yel)-----Pin 3 (PTT in)
(Gnd) Pin 2----(wht)-----Pin 2 (ground)
(+12V) Pin 5----(blu)-----Pin 8 (12V out- see note)
Shell---(shield)---Shell

Note that the PTC-II has provision for an alternate 12V input on its HF
audio connector. This provides a convenient way to connect power to the
modem, but if the cable is particularly long then could be a source of RF
interference. For this reason we suggest using a separate power connection
if the audio cable is over 6 ft (2 meters).

Also note that Icom has a conversion cable available (OPC-599) which will
allow the use of cables made for the 8-pin DIN connector found on other Icom
ham and marine radios. If you use the OPC-599 adapter then connect the cable
per the Icom ham transceivers but use the other settings from this page.

Thanks Chip. That is exactly what I needed.
