Thanks very much; that answered my question. And thanks for the suggestion on the Y cable that should solve that problem as well.

General discussion forum / TS-480 and signalink connection to radio body

« on: 2016-04-05, 00:38:49 »

I've read all of the posts on this that I could find and am still unsure if this is possible.
I am using a Kenwood TS-480 on top of a mountain and no computer on site. I understand that I can use the mic port on the head side and run the signalink but is there any way that I can actually use the spare com port on the RRC and plug the Signalink into that so I don't have to change the mic out every time I want to use the Signalink.
I have made a cable with a 6 pin Din on one side and a DB 9 on the other (for the body) but every time I plug the cable into the Remote Rig box (after plugging it into the radio body) it puts the radio into transmit no matter how I have the Comm 1 port configured.
I have Ham Radio Deluxe running as well and so far am very happy with the way Remote Rig works.
Any advice or help would be greatly appreciated.
