TH215A.1

Subject: KENWOOD TH-215A TO TNC

THE HOOK-UP OF A TH-215A TO MY PAC-COMM TINY 2 TNC WAS VERY EASY.
THERE ARE NO COMPONENTS INVOLVED IN THE CONNECTION. ALL YOU NEED ARE
TWO PHONE PLUGS: 1 SUB MINI, AND 1 STEREO(3 CONDUCTOR) MINI.
BOTH AVAILABLE FROM RADIO SHACK,TWO TO A PACK.
IF YOU HAVE A KENWOOD SPEAKER MIKE, THEN THE INSTRUCTION SHEET WILL
CONTAIN A DRAWING SHOWING THE BASIC CONNECTING LINES. IF NOT, HERES
HOW ITS DONE:
THE SUB-MINI IS THE SPEAKER PLUG. THE CENTER PIN GOES TO THE SPEAKER PIN
ON THE 5 PIN DIN ON THE TNC, THE SHAFT IS THE GROUND.
ON THE MINI STEREO PLUG, YOU DONT USE THE CENTER PIN, JUST THE TWO
SHAFT CONNECTIONS. THE SHORT SHAFT GOES TO MIKE, THE LONG SHAFT IS THE
PUSH TO TALK......THATS IT, FOUR WIRES TO THE CONNECTOR THAT GOES TO
THE TNC PLUG, AND YOURE IN BUSINESS!!

ONE VERY VERY IMPORTANT THING-----ALWAYS MAKE SURE THAT ALL BATTERY
SAVE FUNCTIONS ON THE HANDY TALKIE ARE OFF. IF IT ISNT, A SLIGHT DELAY
IN RECEIVING WILL CAUSE RETRYS FROM THE STATION SENDING TO YOU, AND
WILL DELAY PACKET RECEPTION AT YOUR END. PLEASE MAKE CAREFUL NOTE OF THIS.
ANY QUESTIONS, REPLY TO K2JOV, HARRY, AT N2ELC-4 BBS IN N.J......GOOD LUCK!!
