Works with Icom IC-T70A

Icom IC-T70A is not explicitly mentioned in the support list. I emailed the seller who quickly replied that this should work. I placed an order and the package arrived in three days. I used an adapter labeled "I-F26/F14 etc". Plugged into the speaker jack, CHIRPed daily on 64-bit Linux and was able to read and load HT with no driver issues. I have other radios to test later. The dmesg details are listed below: Connect device to PCusb 3-8: New USB device at full speed number 7 using xhci_hcdusb 3-8: New USB device found, idVendor=067b, idProduct=2303usb 3-8: New USB device strings: Herst=1, Product=2, SerialNumber=0usb 3-8: Product: USB-Serial Controllerusb 3-8: Manufacturer: Prolific Technology Inc.usbcore: Registered new interface driver usbserialusbcore: Registered new interface driver usbserial_genericusbserial : USB- Generic usbcore serial support registered : New interface driver registered pl2303usbserial: Registered USB serial support for pl2303pl2303 3-8:1.0: pl2303usb converter detected 3-8: pl2303 converter is now connected to ttyUSB0.

Pros
  • confirms multiple use for radios of different brands; 6 different adapters included for universal use
Cons
  • I will add later
