David, I hit the send button too soon on my last post. The TS-450 (and TS-850) have a TTL output. Your computer requires an EIA-232 serial input. Therefore you need a TTL-serial converter. My other post talks about what it'll cost you and the time involved.

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. Thanks David
