[TenTec] din connector, news from Hall Mountain KY

[Bob McGraw - K4TAX]

That certainly makes it easy to use standard cables, or easy to make cables 
to connect ones amp, plus use the soundcard of their choice, plus use a foot 
switch, or a straight key.  Everything is covered.  Operators choice.  Why 
fret over making cables?  No reason to in my opinion.

>> Thanks to everyone for the info on the Din (not mini-DIN) connector on

>> On eBay, I found a male two ended 8 pin DIN cable at a reasonable price.
