[Dxbase] Radio interface Kenwood TS450S

[Jim, K8FT]

David,

Several years ago I designed and built an interface using a Maxim MAX-232
chip, hex inverter & 7805 voltage regulator. Total cost was one evening and
about $20 USD. I'm traveling this week but if you still need it let me know
and I'll scan & e-mail it to you this weekend.

Jim, K8FT

David, Jim

There is a project for an interface bewteen a Kenwood rig and RS232 in the 
2006 ARRL handbook, P19.41 onwards, reprinted from QST Feb 1993.  This would

replace the IF232C if you dont want to buy one (assuming you still can?)
