Icom 706 mk2 Body RJ45 Adapter
Description
With thanks to MIKHAIL IGNATOV and DU2RK for their designs that I used to template some aspects. This is part one of an adapter to replace the discontinued OPC 581/587 cable to enable remote use of the head on the Icom 706mk2g. It is far bulkier but allows the use of off the shelf parts to connect a SHEILDED network cable (not crossover) in leu of the OPC Cable. It should be noted that shielded cable is almost a requirement. Connect shield ground at only one side to avoid ground loop issues. Parts Required: 1. RJ45 Shielded 8P8C PCB Connectors - Ethernet Socket 8-pin (Ebay) (233342322563) 2. RJ45 MagJack Breakout (Ebay) (124986252371) 3.MULTICOMP - TEST-31 - TEST PIN, PCB, 0.7MM (Ebay) (181883169117) 4. Ribbon cable of appropriate size. 5. M3 screws
