The connection of a soundcard interface to my IC-706 MK2G radio required an adapter that is available from ICOM as OPC-599. That is a simple breakout cable from a 13-pin ACC connector on the IC-706 MK2G to an 8-pin ACC1 and a 7-pin ACC2 connector that are normally used on the larger (stationary) HF transceivers. This original accessorie is available for just 63€. That price forced the decision to make that myself.
The parts (plugs and connectors) could be acquired from a well known electronic bay. I made the cable from 4 separate cables with 4 wires and a shield each because leads with more wires were not available. Soldering the 7-pin and the 8-pin connector was quite easy. The 13-pin ACC plug instead was a little tricky because of that many wires that want to be soldered and additionally there were 4 wires connected in parallel on both ACC connectors. Before closing the connectors’s cases I applied some shrinking hose in order to prevent shorts (There are 13.8V and 8V available on the lines and they usually do not like beeing connected to ground directly).
