Dave, Joey is referring to the usb-serial adapter for the opc-1384, which has the 8 pin mini din plug used for data, and not the cloning (opc-478u or eq) cable required for cloning.
I mentioned the cloning Icom driver before, just as a reference, that only the genuine Icom usb driver supports the genuine opc-478uc cable, if you wish to cloning functions, besides the opc-1384 connected data programs, i.e; D*Chat etc. which Joey has asked about. Joey will need a separate usb-serial driver associated with the usb-serial adapter device he uses with the opc-1384. Hence the one usb-serial driver wont do both jobs (cloning & data) if you use the genuine Icom opc-478uc cable (cloning with usb-serial hardware incorporated) as well as the opc-1384(data---requires usb-serial adapter for Joeys' use). regards Adrian [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: > > Icom has a serial > cable available with the mini plug on one end for the radio and a DB-9 > connector for the adaptor end.
