Picture 1 shows wiring on the plug. The locking tab is facing towards the camera. The white, black and blue wires are not used. Picture 2 shows red wire soldered to pin 2 (TXD), yellow wire soldered to pin 3 (RXD). The green wire is soldered on the other side to pin 5 (GND). Depending on the...

Hi guys, my apologies, I'm just reading the new posts now. I can take some screenshots of my device / port settings in the next day or so. I do remember my COM port was set to 115200 baud. Max

The one you say you got from Amazon is exactly the one I am using. I ended up buying a 6P6C cable off Amazon and used about 2' off one end to solder to the adapter. I didn't have a 6 pin crimper and the cable would have been cheaper than buying a crimper. Anyway, if you look at the attached...

Send me the link to what converter you bought.

I also wired mine per Simon's website. Got the same response NO DATA all the way through. I reversed the RXD and TXD lines and it worked first try. Normally the RXD line from the TTL device goes to TXD and TXD line to RXD. I'm pretty sure it was wired per the diagram but didn't work. Once I...

Had the TS-830, VFO-230, AT-230 and speaker, think SP-230?? Loved it.

Great radio. Easy to put a panadapter on it.

Hi guys, Been a few years since I've posted on the board. Lots of radios gone through, and I'm now back to the old trusty Kenwood TS850S. It's probably my 5th or 6th I've owned over the years. I replaced all the failure prone caps, and put LED's in the display. Loaded it up with CW filters and...

I know this is an old post, but I am in the process of writing up a mod that does allow you to hook up an LCD monitor to the 756PRO series radio for an external display. Max VE3TMT

You can mount it either way. Mag loops are very efficient if properly designed. The only downside is they are very very narrow banded. Great if you tend to park on one frequency, but if you are jumping around a band, say in a contest, you will be constantly retuning the antenna. I built one...

Another good one is the Koss SB40. $40 at Best Buy.

Hi Brett, I don't have the Mark V Field anymore. I sold it and picked up another TS-2000, big mistake. I traded the Kenwood for a Yaesu FT-2000. The desk top is linoleum self stick tiles I picked up 3/$1.75 at the local dollar store. It really dresses up the desk. You can get dimensions for...

I need to get the 250Hz filter for the Field. I do a lot of RTTY work and really noticed it this past weekend during the ARRL Roundup contest. The 950 had DSP filtering that would go down to 100Hz bandwidth. I have to say, without the optional filters in the 1000, the 950 is a much better...

Recently swapped the FT-950 for an FT-1000 Mark V Field. What an amazing radio!

It's the Cushcraft A3S.
