OPC-478 Cloning Cable







Another evening project is this OPC-478 cloning cable for my Icom IC-2200H. Credit is given to Icom which the original circuit was taken and also to the cloning software (CS-2200H) used on this project. The prototype board supply was taken from the RS232 port of the computer while if this does not work, the 5 volts can be supplied externally. A quick check on the COM port setting of your PC before running the cloning program will prevent any conflict. If your PC does not have RS232, you can have an RS232-to-USB converter available in computer shops. ---73 de hevir
