I no longer own a Kenwood radio, but I don't think it is as simple as hooking up a serial cable to the DIN connector on the TS-450. I don't believe the 450 has a RS232 compatible serial port, you must use a level converter like the Kenwood IF232C, which will give you the RS232 interface your looking for. Then it is as simple as connecting the cable.

Last check.....is it just a DB9 serial plug & cable to a DIN that I need to interface to the radio? Nothing else? Totally plug & play? Or will I need to do some config exercises after the cable is in place? If anyone reading has connected a Kenwood TS450 successfully, I'd appreciate it if you could drop me a direct email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] and tell me how it went.
