Icom D-sub 25pin

cmelville42 · #1 (**permalink**) 02-17-2012, 8:45 PM

I have a F5061 with a handy 25-pin dsub connector on the back.
I know Icom sells a GPS unit that plugs into it, but I cannot find any documentation on the pinout for that connector. I think one of the pins is a dimmer and I would like to use that.

If anyone has used this connector or can point me towards more information I would greatly appreciate it.

whats your email? I can send you the pinout if you havent gotten it already. You can google it too.

Follow up - I did manage to locate a pinout for the D-SUB 25 pin connector. It's helpful but not complete information on what the pins mean. I suppose if I could read a schematic I could decipher it, but I was hoping for some meaningful documentation. After all, what good is it if we don't know how to use it? I guess ICOM sells their GPS add on that plugs into it.

Here are the mystery descriptors

PGI1
COR
EPTTO
EXMOD
AUD
DISC
PA
HORNO
VCC
DIMO
MMUT
HANGO

Is there a document that describes these?

Coffee beans “A” Close When cut, this routes mic audio to J1 option
connector. (Note: cut this when installing UT-109 or
UT-110)
Coffee beans “B” Close When cut, this routes receive audio through J1 option
connector. (Note: cut this when installing UT-109 or
UT-110)
Coffee beans “C” Close When cut, this enables PTT control from option unit
on J1.
Coffee beans “D” Open When connected, it routes external audio (SPIN) from
D-SUB (J602) to the transmit modulating circuit
Coffee beans “E” Close When cut, this isolates external transmit audio
(SIGO) on J1 option connector from the transmit
modulation circuit
Coffee beans “F” Open When connected, it routes external transmit audio,
pin 8 on D-SUB connector (J602) to the VCO
modulating circuit.
Coffee beans “G” Close When cut, this isolates the output on buffer Q49 from
the AFO signals on the mic jack (J503) (Note: this
modification requires closing coffee beans“H” below.)
Coffee beans “H” Open When connected, this routes audio output signals on
IC21 to AFO on the mic jack. (Note: this modification
requires cutting coffee beans“G” above).
Coffee beans “I” Close When cut, this isolates demodulator signals (AFOUT)
on J1 option connecter from the audio processor (pin
19 of IC2).
Coffee beans “J” Open When connected, this routes the demodulator signal
(AFOUT) on the J1 option connector to discriminator

Coffee beans “Q” Close When cut, this isolates the CTS signal line on D-SUB
(pin 5 of J602) from the internal RS-232 interface
