It is probably something like the TX audio pin is not engaging the
socket then. The cable works fine on my FT-817, but no joy on the
FT-7000. That is why this problem was very frustrating to figure out.
I just broke down and ordered another digirig and DIN 13 cable. I
like to have all of the radios "fixins'" with it in a go kit. That
get's expensive, but there is nothing worse than grabbing a box or a
bag thinking you have everything you need only to find out you don't
out in the field. That is why if I am taking a road trip and
operating from the car I take a couple of different systems. If I
forget something, or if some part of the chain breaks, I have another
setup to fall to. At least that is my excuse :D

Chris I just connected my Digirig to my IC-7000 via the 6 Pin DIN plug and it keyed up the radio just fine while using VARA HF. I monitored the audio on my HT and the audio was transmitted as well.
I do not have the CAT cable for the IC-7000 so I had to specify the com port in the optional transmitting section of the VARA setup. In my case it was COM10.
The 6 PIN DIN plugs are typically wired the same way on every radio, but HF only radios typically don't have the 9600 pin wired, or they use that pin for something else. Radios with 2 meters & 70 cm including all modes would or should have the 9600 pin wired for 9600.
Sorry I could not help any more, but hopefully you get it going.
