OKthanks all, for the info. It seemed strange, because in all of my previous experience with cables, pin 1 always went to pin 1 on the other end, etc... Interesting. I need only 9 wires between the PK-232 and the computer so I wonder if I can cut the cable and spice just the ones for this

[digitalradio] Olivia 500/8 Center-of-Activity 14076kHz-14079kHz proposed

2006-02-19 Thread expeditionradio
Olivia is now popular for digital keyboarding. Since Olivia has so many possible modes in it, there is a search for a 500Hz starting point. I propose that we, as a group of Olivia operators, use 14076kHz-14079kHz, as a centre-of-activity starting point for Olivia 500/8 . Olivia 500/8 (or
