[TenTec] Question on Sound Card interfacing

[K8JHR]

Hi Bry -- do you have the TT 4-output, 7-pin DIN plug "octopus" cable 
that provides easy connection to the pins of the rear panel accessory 
jack?  If not, a $10 bill and some postage will get you one.  That makes 
connecting a Line In, Line Out, PTT and other connections easy.  Check 
the user manual for the pin out assignments, but the cable that comes 
from TT will have colors and be easy to mark after you find the chart in 
the user guide.  I cheated and put tape labels on them so I don't get 
all corn-fused when not looking in the manual.

This should point the way.

TT makes a buffer or isolation cable, but you should not need that to 
connect to a well behaved sound card - match an RCA phono plug on one 
(rig) end and a 3.5 mm TR or TRS jack on the other (sound card) end.

I think this is what you are asking.
