[digitalradio] Icom Data Mode / ACC(1) Socket?
All, Can anyone tell me if the ACC(1) socket audio on an Icom rig is disabled when the rig is taken out of data mode? I was told that USB-D / LSB-D must be selected for the ACC socket to work when using the port for sound card modes.

RE: [digitalradio] Icom Data Mode / ACC(1) Socket?
On my 746Pro, audio appears to be present at the ACC1 socket in all modes. Only the front panel mic audio is disabled in the USB-D and LSB-D modes.

Re: [digitalradio] Icom Data Mode / ACC(1) Socket?
I use the ACC1 for interfacing and I have found that it is always on. This is what the eSSB hams use to interface their equalizers. What you are toggling on and off with the SSB D mode it is the microphone circuit. Otherwise, the microphone circuit is live at the same time that you are attempting to use data modes. The D mode also turns off any compression settings for the mike and slows the tuning speed down to 1/4 rate. I sometimes use Multipsk with DXLab Commander for digital data, and that combination will drop the rig out of D mode if I am not careful with the mousewheel in Multipsk. When this occurs, you still have audio through the ACC1, but the mike comes back on, any SSB audio compression is turned back on, so I have to be very careful with those programs since I can accidentally transmit incorrect levels and mike compression can trigger ALC action. On the other hand, for those of you following the surprising discussion on the HFDEC yahoogroup, at least one emergency group has found that after trying different approaches to handling text data for practical emergency use, without much success in participation, they now use acoustic interfacing, with no hardware interface, when operating on VHF! You could legally do this on HF, but only on the phone/image portions of the bands when you are sending image. And it may not work very well with audio on image type digital data. But as we now know, you can simultaneously send phone and text data at the same time with some of the text data modes. There might be times when you want to do this for emergency text data if you use the rig for 6 meters with the ICOM rigs that have 6 meter capability. While one solution would be to toggle back and forth between D mode and regular mode, if you want to continue using voice at the same time you are sending the text data, you would want to drop compression on the voice but carefully watch the ALC. I might mention that from previous discussions, and contrary to what some have claimed, you can use a commonly available 5 pin DIN (such as from Radio Shack) to connect to ICOM rigs that have the 8 pin DIN ACC1. The pin outs have the same position and the keyway is the same. Just fewer pins, but it just happens that you need only 4 of the 5 pins and they just happen to be the ones on the 5 pin DIN:) 73, Rick, KV9U Tony wrote: All, Can anyone tell me if the ACC(1) socket audio on an Icom rig is disabled when the rig is taken out of data mode?

Re: [digitalradio] Icom Data Mode / ACC(1) Socket?
Tony, No, it is not disabled. That means that any device connected on the ACC socket will feed back to your audio in standard SSB mode with mic connected. While mostly inaudiable - depending on the device - sometimes SSB audio is interfered.

Hello Omar I did some more testing this afternoon. And the FT-2000 are pretty stable the first one and half hour from cold. But when the cooling fan kicks in it begins to wobble in frequency.

Re: [digitalradio] April QST page 35
Hi John, No outrage at all from me unless the mode suddenly switches to cover several KHz and wipes our my QSOs. Issue for me is not email over radio but the modem and how it is used. If a person is at the radio on both ends even less outrage. 73, Tom n4zpt. John Becker, WØJAB wrote: That screen shot sure looks like email over ham radio to me.
