Subject: pk232 fix and mod

1. The PK-232 will cause ssb and fm
   distortion when plugged in to a TS-
   680 (aux port). My fix has been to
   add a 470 pF. Hi-Q disk cap. in 
   series with the TX-audio line, and
   leave the mic gain at maximum. I
   also have the 600 ohm divider resis-
   tor (R 151 radio 1) lifted but don't
   know if it still helps after the cap
   mod.
2. When switching from Com-Fax to Com-
   Pakratt cartridges the RTTY Rx-after
   -Tx key F7 is disabled. The fix is
   to enter Terminal mode on Com-
   Pakratt (<C=> t) and then enter
   conmode converse.
   
3. I have received mods to convert the
   PK-232 into a dual-port tnc for
   gateway dual-rig use from VE7DIE @ 
   VE7DIE. Drop him a note if inter-
   ested.
