Ken Arck AH6LE All Messages By This Member #214302 That would work too but the only time that connection is absolutely necessary is when uploading firmware to the repeater (same as the TKRs). Otherwise, the DB25 on the back panel is fine (straight through, non null modem connection) Ken At 04:03 PM 4/4/2025, you wrote: toggle quoted message Show quoted text At 4/4/2025 03:19 PM, you wrote: Hi Bob It requires their KPG-129DK software and just a regular ol' serial connection to its back panel DB25 Ken I thought I used the same cable that I use to program my TK-880s & TKR-850s on my club's NXR-810: 8 pin modular.

But since they stopped putting DB-25s on PCs about 30 years ago I don't have DB-25 serial cables anymore.? I do happen to have some DE-9 to DB-25 adapters that I haven't thrown out yet; guess they're good for something now. Bob NO6B
