Icom OPC-478UD
Icom OPC-478UD (previously OPC-478UC) is a USB programming cable with a built-in USB interface and a 3.5mm Jack plug. Used to program most low-tier and mid-tier Icom portable radios.
Cable only: Please note this is for a programming cable only. You will also need the appropriate programming software to program Icom radios.
Note: Windows 11 updated version. OPC-478UC and OPC-478UC/1 are now designated OPC-478UD. There is absolutely no difference between OPC-478UC and OPC-478UD other than OPC-478UD supports the standard Windows driver repository and does not need specific drivers; i.e. Icom no longer needs to supply drivers as they're already included with Windows 7, 8, 8.1, 10 and 11 as standard.
No returns: As already described in our terms of sale, which you explicitly agree to when doing business with Radiotronics, programming cables including OPC-478UC/OPC-478UD are non-refundable under any circumstances and no refund request will be entertained.

As Described Programming Cable
Arrived quickly and works without any issues on Icom IC-F2000/IC-F29 series. A bit surprised at the old USB connection but appropriate cable supplied so no problem.
