The Adapter 1258M can be used both for early IC-7100 and modified IC-7100 This board is quite simple and can be built by your self also. The Adapter is available in our webshop or from the distributors. To handle this modification in the Remoterig a adapter PCB called 1258M has to be installed in the (red)strap socket of the Control-RRC. They have solved it by reducing the amplitude of the data sent from control to main unit.
The reason of the modification was to avoid that data communication will be heard in FM mode at low modulation levels.
ICOM have made a hardware modification lately (March 2014) which makes later produced rigs incompatible with the original Remoterig boxes (New IC-7100 control panels are also incompatible with old IC-7100 main units).
