I am very happy and would recommend this product to anyone with an Icom!ДЎ. Yeah, the cable is a little pricy for what it really is, but that includes overseas shipping, and turnaround was super fast, so I have no real complaints with that. The mic is live when you use the ACC port! REMEMBER TO TURN THE MIC GAIN OFF ON THIS CABLE IF YOU HAVE THE IC-718. Within the hour I had a psk31 chat with Italy on 40m at night was 40 watts. Everything plugs into the ACC jack, and there are no ground loops or anything (worried since there are no isolation transformers). Fldigi needed to use its' internal RIGCAT otherwise is would Segment Fault, but it worked great as well.

Quality was excellent, the rig control worked flawlessly with hamlib (the backend in linux for rigs). No external boxes, no fiddly knobs, everything was simple, and the PTT isolation and powering happens all in the DB9. I took a shot at the 5m cables, and with the money back guarantee, I figured if it didn't work, I could send it back. My setup has the rig on one table in the corner, and the computer/workdesk on the other. The main problem with other setups are the cables are too short - everyone assumes your computer is right next to the rig.

I wanted somthing simple to interface to my Icom 718, provide rig control and PTT capabilities so I can do digital modes as well as have the computer log the frequency when I am using my logging software (CQRLOG in Linux, FLDIGI in Linux). You can call me whatever you want, but trying to solder to an 8 pin mic connection never works for me - 1/8' jacks are fine, but anything smaller and I go crazy. I tried making an interface cable, but I will tell you this - little wires and soldering for me don't go well. Very highly recommend this product if you're struggling with digital and Xiegu. Unusual in today's day and age to find a product that works as advertised right out of the box. With a better antenna (just using a vertical), I can see world-wide contacts. Not just in the states, but in Europe, the Caribbean, and Central and South America. Within thirty minutes of setup, following Steve's instructions religiously, and a few very minor tweeks to the Xiegu, was making contacts on FT8. Took about eight days to arrive from Great Britain.no big deal there. I ran across a recommendation for Steve's (G8XGG) XGGCOMMS Digital Interface. Then, tax season hit (my old call was W8CPA) and digi experiments fell by the wayside.

I spent months late in 2020 trying to get my Xiegu G90 to operate on digital modes with no luck.

Additionally, the interface connects your PC sound card line in/out jacks to the radio's 8 pin Din accessory socket for full transmit and receive audio interfacing allowing you to operate modes such as PSK-31, WEFAX, SSTV, PACTOR, Packet, AFSK CW and many more. This interface offers full CAT control of your Icom Transceiver via your PC's RS-232 port and the Radio's 3.5mm CAT (CI-V) Jack. Review Summary For : XGGCOMMS Icom Digital Interface
