[Dxbase] Radio interface Kenwood TS450S

[Jim, K8FT]

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.

I've read the help files and the online information from DXbase, and I think
I'm ready to connect the computer to the rig.  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 VE3VID at hotmail.com and tell me how
it went.

Thanks

David
