Re: Kenwood NXR 810 repeater

 

The only thing you have to be careful of with the six-pin versus the eight pin is make sure that the repeater is off when you plug in. That's because there is plus 12 volts at the 8-pin jack that powers the cable.? Weird I know but it is.. Kenwood TAC told me this years ago.. When using the six pin plug on the TKRs and other radios that have it, you do run the risk of shorting 12 volts to ground and opening a zero ohm resistor inside behind the front panel. Then you can't program! I know of one TKR 750 that I ran across that had that done. Had to use the DB25 in the back. Once you're plugged in, you can turn the repeater on and program away.?

something else like a controller.?? The less time I spend in the back of
the rack, the less time I have to accidentally disconnect something else.

Same here.? But my programming cable is 6 pin (6P6C) yet it plugs into the 8P8C socket on the TKR-850 & communicates just fine.? I think I used the same cable on the NXRs.
