Kelley,

Just use the schematic in the back of K8CC's NA manual.  At Radio Shack the
total parts are maybe 20 bucks unless you purchase some premade cables to
match your radio connections.

It will take a couple of evenings to put it together and it will work
superbly.  I did this about 5 years ago and it has performed flawlessly for
all my SO2R outings, both SSB and CW.

Milt, N5IA
