[Elecraft] KRC2 and TS480

[Don Wilhelm]

Steve,

You will have to refer to your TS-4800 documentation to determine the 
data rate (setting for W7 and W8 jumpers) and the proper setting for the 
handshake jumpers W14 and W17.
I do not have a TS-4800, but the manual should tell you what is needed 
and then the KRC2 manual will tell you how to plug it.

73,
Don W3FPR
