[ICOM] IC-706MkIIG - Can you increase the output level ofthefixedaudio output (Data and/or ACC)?

[Michael G. Carper]

Well, I was using the 13-pin ACC connector.  But I recently swapped to the
6-pin data jack.  HOWEVER, I didn't go inside the SignaLink USB to
reconfigure the jumpers (thinking they were the same as the 13-pin
configuration)... WRONG.

Anyway... I got these little configuration 'cubes' so that you don't have to
monkey with the jumpers to switch from rig to rig (or in my case,
jack-to-jack).

So... I do get audio from the 6-pin connector.  However, the level is rather
low... even with the extra jumper in the SignaLink USB and the RX to max.

That said - after years of trying, it finally is usable... and mobile
digital modes...

Hello Michael

I have a IC-706MKIIG I am using presently in my shack and it is 
interfaced to my Computer as we speak! I get a good waterfall on my 
software from my SignaLink USB I have the RX audio gain at 12 )'clock 
and get a great waterfall. I homebrewed my 6 pin Mini Din cable myself 
to boot. You did not say whether you were using the Mini Din data port 
or the 13 Pin larger Din plug. I  recall not getting enough waterfall 
drive from the 13 Pin Din when experimenting around with Homebrew 
Interface. I made the mistake and ordered my SignaLink USB with a 
unterminated cable so I could use it om my FT-GX brothers FT757GX & it's 
bigger FT-767GX. I wonder if something is wrong with your Cable? I get 
better waterfall drive from my IC-706MKIIG then I get from my FT-757 or 
767GX radios. I will tell you all a little Secret there is nothing 
special about the SignaLinks unterminated Radio Cable it is Standard 
RJ-45 LAN Cable the Colour Code is the same. I found a spare piece and 
confirmed that point when I made up my own cable for my IC-751A. I hope 
that helps Michael.
