You need the kct-19 option cable, the standard
software to program the radio and a basic
repeater controller. I have the KCT-19 package
(includes both the radio interface cable and
matching plugs) in stock for $22 each plus actual
shipping.
I include photocopy of the specific radio to
kct-19 interface. Wiring to your controller of
choice is done by following the controller install
information.
The 840 does not provide as many tone panel
options as the tk-880, but they do work well
and they are often sold cheap on the internet.
Boyd of B&D Enterprises, sells a really nice
basic controller that works very well. You can
Email him direct or find his auctions on
Ebay... typical controller pricing is about $69
These units work well with a tk-840 layout.
Be carefull about running the 840 at full
power repeater operation without some form
of cooling fan. You don't want to overheat
the PA (power amplifier) Section.
