The UDRC™ has a “standard” 6 pin Mini DIN that works with the Data Port on many radios from Icom, Kenwood and Yaesu. Of course there are a variety of connectors and pinouts on both Amateur and Commercial radios.
We’ve found an excellent resource for cost-effective custom cables, right here in the Pacific Northwest. We’re currently having the following mini DIN-6 Cables made for our own use:
- DE-09M, for the Alinco x35 radios
- DE-15M, for the new Bridgecom 220 radio
If you need a cable for your radio; contact Randy, W7TUT, directly at:
