R5 Alinco ERW-7 with IC-R5

[W8ADQ]

I found out that my old Alinco ERW-7 usb to 3.5 mm stereo plug cable works well to program my IC-R5. It saves me messing around with my old USB to RS232C adapter and serial programming cable. The old serial setup had some problems, probably from the voltage levels from the USB to RS232C adapter that I have. The ERW-7 works really well without any problems, at least so far.
