I am thinking of using the KCR2 to interface directly with my TS950 Kenwood RS232 port.
Data for TS950 RS232 port 1.. 4800 baud 2.. full duplex 3.. Synch is START-STOP 4.. Bit data: 1 start bit, 8 character bits, 2 stopbits 5.. Parity: NONE 6.. Signal format: TTL 7.. FA command present (VFO A frequency) Questions 1) Can this unit operate with the 950 port directly? If not what type of level changing circuitry required? 2) Can this unit operate without a PC to get band switching outputs to drive my antenna switching relay box (they happen to be 12VDC, ~ 200ma) 3) What jumpers are required in the KCR2? 4) I heard there may be a pull-up required for Kenwoods not in the kit....true/false rumor? 5) Cable diagram not shown. I assume the following interconnection between TS950 and KCR2 a.. TS950 TXD TO KCR2 RXD (J2-2) b.. TS950 RXD TO KCR2 TXD (J2-3) c.. TS950 GND TO KCR2 GND (J2-5) Thanks in advance Jay W2IJ ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:Elecraft@mailman.qth.net This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html
