John,

That cable has a RS-232 to TTL level converter built into the DB-9 
connector. The other end is the one that you can't get, its the little 3 
sided rectangle connector that slips over the 207 face where the control 
head connects. I am not sure that cable is available in the after market, 
it was not some 3 years ago when I worked for Icom.
