Oh, sorry, I have one more question also @K0TX -

Looking at the OPC2144 pinout, it seems that the ID52A expects three conductors on each side, as shown in the post thread here: [ID-52 Interface - #20 by JJ1PJI](https://forum.digirig.net/t/id-52-interface/344/20)

But looking at the store listing here [ICOM HT Cable for Digirig Mobile – digirig](https://digirig.net/product/icom-ht-cable/) it seems that the Icom side of that cable only has two conductors on each side - and it looks like the middle rings for CIV and +3V would be shorted to ground if I tried to plug in the stock store cable directly to the radio after making the box-cutter/molding adjustment, because there are still only two conductors on each side of the cable plug.

Am I correct in my assumption?

If so, is it still appropriate to order the CI-V version of the DigiRig for the ID-52A? Or should I be ordering a different version?

So sorry to have all these questions, just trying to make sure I don’t order wrong items!

Glen
