In addition to digital voice communication, low-speed
data communication can be made.
Use the optional OPC-1529R d a t a c o m m u n i c at i o n
c a b l e with a third-party serial data communication
software.

item setting in the Set mode. (p. 164)
NOTE: First, turn OFF the “GPS TX Mode” item in
the GPS Set mode to send the low-speed data. (p.

D Connection
Connect the transceiver to your PC using the optional
OPC-1529R cable, as illustrated below.

Depending on the PC environment, the COM port number
used by the IC-9100 may be higher than 5. In such case,
use the application which can set to higher than 5.

■ Packet loss indication
While operating voice communication or low-speed
data communication through the internet, some
packets may be lost due to network error (poor data
throughput performance). In such a case, the IC-9100
displays “ ” on the display to indicate Packet Loss has
occurred.
