Sorry I can't solve your issue, but any Icom gurus responding to you may know about my "Revision B" problem when I try to read one of ,my IC-4000-3 machines. I ended up using it as a donor for parts to get two other ones running.

Good evening all,?
I'm having difficulty reading two (very dirty) Icom FR-4000-3 repeaters that I recently acquired for rehab. My software is CS-F3000 version 1.1 and I am using a genuine OPC-478 cable with a homemade OPC-592 (mini-stereo to RJ-45) adapter. PC is Windows 10 with a known good usb-serial adapter. I've double checked the simple two-wire adapter pin out and am confident I have RJ-45 pins 2 and 7 properly terminated to the ring and sleeve of the mini-stereo.?
No communication between the radio and software. Is there anything special about putting the FR3/4000 series repeaters in "clone" or programming mode? No specific guidance in the owners and service manuals other than indicating power-on is all that's required (unless entering service mode, which has separate instructions).?
