[Ham-Linux] Alinco DR-135TP Comm for APRS?

[Dr. Gerald N. Johnson]

Based on the schematic of the SM I downloaded from Mods.DK, that 9 pin 
connector is NOT RS-232, nor for controlling the radio. Its a packet TNC 
interface with 1200 and 9600 baud data pins, carrier detect and such as 
that. It may now be smoked from getting too much voltage applied from 
RS-232.

The OP manual should describe how to use it and any options of frequency 
control the radio might have.
