[Kenwood] TS-820<>R-820 Transceive Cable Connection Diagram

[Don Buska]

Hi All,

Well I finally found the 16 pin Hirose connector needed to build up a transceive cable 
for my TS-820 to R-820 connection.  I have one problem though.  The R-820 manuals 
indicates what wiring changes are needed for the TS-820 side, but neither of my R-820 
manuals (op or Maint) provides a pin-to-pin connection diagram or table for the cable 
itself.  All they indicate is the cable was standard with the R-820!

So my request.  If anyone out there has one of these cables (16-pin hirose connector 
on R-820 side and 9-pin round connector on TS-820 side) I would very much appreciate a 
connector-to-connector connection table.  This would require an ohm meter check which 
would tell that pin 1 of the 9-pin connector went to pin X of the 16 pin connector and 
so on.  Basically it would require only 9 checks that correspond to the smaller 
connectors pin out.  Hopefully there are no pin-to-pin jumpers internal to the 16 pin 
connector or that one wire is branched off to two pins on the 16 pin side.  I guess a 
check under the covers of the 16 pin connector would reveal jumpers.

I would surely appreciate the help folks.  Could guess the connections, but would 
probably mess up a couple of them.  I have been able to figure out what some of the 16 
pin connections do, but not all of them.  Plus, Kenwood may have designed that 
connector to perform other funtions as well as the TS-820 transceive work.  Often 
there are some of these design-ins that never end up getting used in the final 
products.

Thanks es 73
