[1000mp] Kenwood SM 220 Station Monitor Connect to Mark V

[Mike Schatzberg]

I inquired of Yaesu, about connecting the SM-220 to the Mark V......here =
is their reply....

Dear Sir:

Thanks for your e-mail.

Not knowing exactly how "invasive" something has to be before it is no
longer "non invasive," there are no points in the mark-V that would
allow access either in the first or second IFs without going in breaking
solder traces, and then evaluating the impact on impedance, etc. The
capability just is not there, either for panadapter or for signal
pattern monitoring with the SM-220, on a non-invasive basis.

But thanks for asking.

Kind regards,

It certainly seems hard to believe that they can not recommend a =
connection point for either IF, at least a simple or non-invasive =
connection......I will repeat my request for information to technical =
support in Japan......

Anyone who has already accomplished this is kindly requested to =
reply......
