[TenTec] 253 cabling

["John Rader" <k5xtx@hotmail.com>]

Bill,
Thanks for the pics and ideas on operating the 253 remotely. I found a 9423, 
but, I am also thinking about building a cable, similar to yours, for the 
253 that includes the remote tune button and a "ready" LED. The manual shows 
that pin 15 is the reomote tune input and pin 9 is the "ready" LED. A 3 
conductor pigtail bulit into a 10 conductor interface cable ought to take 
care of these 2 functions.
