[Kenwood] Kenwood SM-220 Station Monitor

[peter markavage]

As Garey said you realy don't need the specific graticule to make this
thing work. But I'm curious, you said, " there are 3 connection cables
necessary ". For receiver monitoring of the audio signal you either need
a cable from the detector output of the receiver to the front panel
SM-220 connector or if you have the BS-8 or BS-5 (depending on what
receiver you're connecting to) and you want to monitor band activity
(band scope.panadapter) you have a cable from the first mixer output of
the receiver to the jack on the back of the SM-220. The other connectors
(4 of them)  on the back of the SM-220 are for
transmitter/exciter/amplifier output monitoring.
