I've got a quite good contact to Kenwood Germany that I could ask 
all available specs for. 

And I've got a copy of the Icom "Communication Interface - V" reference
manual. This covers models:

ic725, ic726, ic728, ic729, ic735, ic737, ic751, ic751a, ic761, ic765,
ic781

ic271a/e/h, ic471a/e/h, ic1271a/e, ic575a, ic275a/e/h, ic375a, ic475a/e/h,
ic1275a/e, ic970a/e/h

icr71a/e/d, icr72, icr7000, ic-r7100, icr9000

For Yaesu I'd have to reactivate my contacts to their german subsidiary.


Regards, Kai
