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.

Subject: Re: [ic7000] No TX audio on JS8CALL

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,

Two issues to be aware of when using the 13-pin DIN ACC input:

The audio input on pin 11 is much more sensitive (100 mv.) than the DATA connector. Even with good ferrite chokes on the cable, it is susceptible to picking up RFI, which distorts the audio, especially when used in portable operation with less than ideal antennas and station grounding. The solution is to put a 68K resistor in series with pin 11 inside the DIN connector shell. This increases the audio input level closer to 2 volts, which decreases the effects of any RFI and also makes level adjustment less touchy with most sources. This is especially important for SCS Pactor units.
When using the ACC port, its audio input on pin 11 goes to the same input bus as the external mic connectors on the front and rear panels. If a mic is plugged into either port any noise in the room picked up by the mic will be mixed with the data audio, causing data errors at the receiving station. The only solution is to always unplug the mic's when using a digital mode via ACC. The DATA port does not have this problem.
