Checking HM207 Mic Cable of IC2730A Radio with Network Cable Tester!
Few days back I had mentioned that my friends reported broken audio from my IC273A VHF/UHF dual band radio and I was not able complete contacts through terrestrial repeater or the cross band repeater on International Space Station. The ends of the HM 207 Mic cable going into the RJ45 connectors at both ends seemed frayed. Hence I bought a Network (LAN) cable tester online and set out to test it. Initially I tested a LAN cable which has been functioning well between my internet router and the laptop. Then I compared the result with the mic cable.
