[CQ-Contest] Kenwood TS940 computer interface

[Steve Lufcy]

Tom-
I too bought the IF-232 interface for my 940 and could not get it to work. I lent it to a friend who interfaced his 870 with it, so th IF-232 was good.
Turns out that the 940 must have a chip inside for the IF232 to interface with and not all 940's have it.
I ended up buying the TS-940 IF-10B/C from PIEXX which is the interface and chip that fit inside the 940 and plugs straight into a serial port on the computer. This works fine and I don't need the outboard box at all.
The unit sells for $89 from PIEXX, and you can even order online from http://www.piexx.com
Good luck es 73 de K0OU, Steve in KC

BTW- I don't own stock in PIEXX or anything - just a satisfied customer. OU

Dear contesters:
I recently purchased the IF-232C unit to interface my TS 940 to the =
computer. Can't get it to work, and the 940 manual has absolutely =
nothing in it regarding computer operation. Does anyone know if there is =
a switch, etc. inside the radio that I have to turn on, or ?????
I also own a 440 and that manual mentions an IC that must be put into =
the radio. Wonder if the 940 requires one also?

Thanks for any input guys.
