Heh heh heh -  You ARE the wizard Gary!!!

It sounds to me like an adapter in the making.  The current plug on the end
of the OPC-478 is a 3 terminal.  I can make an adapter for this, 3 terminal
to two terminal.  Which of the three goes where?  I would hazard a guess,
sleeve to sleeve, tip to tip, and leave the ring open.  But that is only a
guess.

Hmmm - a thought.  Perhaps the OPC-478 only uses 2 terminals.  I have not
looked.  YET.

I have been in contact with the maker of ICClone.  (Actually he contacted
me).  Seems we are on to something.

Thank you ever so much.  Even today, you are one of the reasons I still like
ICOM so much.
