OPC-478 Programming cable CAD files (ZIP) Supplied
By James Craswell WØVNE These files are the CAD files for a program cable used with ICOM products such as the IC-F4S series of UHF Radios. It also works with a wide variety of other radios. You need to download the CIRCAD program from http://www.circad.net/. The free demo version should allow you to print out the schematic and even print out a template to make a PCB. Or you can hand wire a board using Vector board. This is a clone of the OPC-478 cable. Hams who like Circad can get the full version, which allows you to make GERBER files to mass produce PCBS for $250 (1/4 the price of the retail version). You can email me at w0vne /at/ y ahoo /dot/ com for the details of that but remember: you won't need the full version to make up this board. |
Manuals and Brochures
The IC-F series, IC-U series, and IC-V series radios are commercial Land Mobile Radios (LMR).
The M-series are marine radios, the A-series are aircraft (AM modulation), the FR and UR-series are LMR repeaters and options.

IC-706 Service Manual
4.4 MB PDF file Includes options UT-102 and AT-180. This is the HF radio that also does 6 meters. When coupled to a high-end repeater controller that understands what a HF remote base is (like an NHRC-10, an Arcom RC210 or similar capability controller) this makes a dandy HF remote base. Just watch the pre-emphasis and de-emphasis! And note that the Icom command language in the 706 microprocessor has a firmware bug: The 706 series will not let you set the VHF / UHF CTCSS encoder frequency remotely. There is a workaround for this that the NHRC-10 controllers have as a built-in feature: pre-program 32 memory channels with the 32 CTCSS encode tones, then to change frequency recall the appropriate tone-coded memory to the dial, then program the dial with your desired target frequency. |

Data sheet on the rechargeable battery packs
for the IC-H16, IC-U16 125 kB PDF file This data sheet covers the "commercial grade" CM-5, CM-7, CM-8, CM-12, CM-96 series.

All except the CM-12 series are recharged in the BC-35 charger mentioned above (the CM-12 is a holder for ten AA penlight cells). |
|
|
CM-7 battery pack schematic (also
applicable to the BP-7) This is the high power ("12 volt") pack that has an interesting design - since the BC-35 is effectively an 11v charger designed to charge 9.6v batteries this battery pack uses an internal relay to switch two 6v cell groups in parallel for charging and in series (12v) for operation. |
