[Kenwood] Inexpensive (about $20 shipped) USB to Kenwood Computer Interface

[Rob Frohne]

Hi Everyone,

I recently wanted to update my computer control cable on my TS-850SAT to 
a USB one with RTS/CTS support.  It took me a bit of work to get it all 
sorted out, but the result was worth it, especially with IF-232C units 
still going for more than $50 on ebay. 

This interface should work with the following Kenwood radios:  TS-50, 
TS-60, TS-140, TS-440, TS-450, TS-680, TS-690, TS-711, TS-721, TS-790, 
TS-811, TS-850, TS-950, R-5000. 

I put up a short page on building it at:

I hope this is of use to some of you, and that it will make doing it 
much quicker  and easier than it was for me.

73,

Rob, KL7NA
