There is a Yahoo group for the 450/850/690. Go to:
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/TS-850_450_690 and you should be able to join. There are several ways to make an interface cable for these rigs, ranging from the cheap to the expensive. The Kenwood IF-232C is probably the most expensive interface. In between is the one I use - I built it from a 1488 and 1489 chip. If I make another or upgrade the one I have, I'll use a MAX232 for a lower chip count. Basically, the Kenwood rig uses TTL levels on its serial port and the computer uses RS-232 levels. Some people have built circuits with a few zener diodes to do the same thing. Probably the cheapest but maybe not quite so reliable. 73, Zack W9SZ On Wed, 9 Mar 2005, Leon M Foot wrote: > Is there a Kenwood reflector?
