I've aquired from eblag an Icom radio to use with my Autocom but on arrival some unexpected bits have come attached to it:
This seems to be some sort of battery eliminator. Its connected to the radio like this:
The 3.5 and 2.5mm jacks plug into the top of the radio, and these together with the battery terminals dissappear into the "black box" that lives inside the bag.
Coming out of the black box are two leads, one red and one black that look like this:
Neither of these are colured grey like the lead from my old radio that plugged into my Autocom, but the red lead has the same pin layout as a standard grey radio lead.
I want to use this with An Active 7 smart:
I realise this Autocom model has no capacity to bike power a radio, but is there some way I get this set up to work bike powered with what I have here? Don't mind a bit of soldering if needed?
