Once working - Make Notes! Then make a manual with screen shots! That is GREAT Advice! Because it can and will become messed up, or forgotten how to, set it all up again, later!

The old Kenwood TH-D7A had a RS232 Serial port to interface to it's internal TNC

Thanks @yaroze, I figured there was one out there!

I am using a Signalink with my base VHF station. For handhelds I love my Bluetooth Mobilinkd 4 between my radio and iPhone/iPad.

@@TaterFarmer154 I’ll have to pick one of those up and give it a try. What HT are you using it with?

[@TaterFarmer154]

Yaesu FT-60 and FT-70D. Same cable and settings for both.
