"A modern approach is PIEXX's - they sell one gizmo for
US$ 89 - all of it goes inside the radio. Some have
complained that it comes with a ribbon cable to 9-pin
D-sub connector that one needs to sneak out under the
940's top cover. Might seem a bit inelegant, but
there's probably no better practical solution short of
tearing the radio apart."
There is a somewhat elegant solution though, seems that very few
hams using a 940, ever use the 13 pin odd connector on the back
of the 940.....why not exit thru that connector.
Also, if anyone buys the PIEXX unit and gets it to work with their
940 and CT program, INCLUDING the bandmap, please let me
know as I couldn't (per my previous mail)
