Hi!
Does anybody know if the OPC 478 cloning cable works at a M710?
thx Michael

I guess it depends what you want to use it for. If you intend to
control the radio through the AirMail program, it will work. Here's
part of what the AirMail Help section has to say...

Using the "Clone" jack:

All Icom M710 and M700pro radios have a 1/8" TTL-level jack labeled
"Clone". This can be used directly with the PTC-II controller but
requires a level converter for use with a COM port (such as the Icom
OPC-478 cable available from Icom dealers). This connector is normally
used by dealers for radio setup but can also be used for NMEA remote
control. Setting up the radio and Airmail is the same as for the M710
above (including selection of "d-Sub" or "RS232" for the radio's
REMT-IF setting).

Note that some Icom documentation refers to this as a CI-V jack, but
it only works with NMEA data formats. It is also important that the
radio's REMT-IF menu be set to "d-Sub" (or "RS-232"), the radio may
work with "pin" (or "clone") selected but the input is unbuffered in
that mode, and the timing is marginal.

Also note that Icom does not officially support the use of this jack
for remote control, and if you go to Icom with questions they will
disavow all knowledge. But in our experiece it has been completely
reliable.

For re-programming and opening the channels.
