Craig,
The interface/cable is easily available via ebay far cheaper than the icom branded one.
If there is no-one local to you with one then you could borrow one of mine - let me know via PM as i'd have to post it up to you.

Hi Craig
If it's just a normal usb/usb or usb/mini usb you can pick them up for less than £5 at any decent computer shop.In Carlisle try PC World,Game,Comet,Currys etc.
Cheers
Gary

Gary,
it's not just a USB cable - it contains a circuit to change the line levels. Also it uses a jack plug termination for the scanner end.

Amazing - you have possibly the best hobby airband receiver ever made and you want a 'cheap' one? Mr. Hayakawa designed some of the best airband and shortwave radios!
Spend some time using the radio in 'seek' mode (newer radios would call it 'search') to find other active frequencies.

This is what I call a professional airband receiver and still going for good money on ebay. Some are none to get a buzzing from inside the case, but for the age of this set I could put up with it...
