TS440S These Instructions are TS-440 specific, but the basics also apply to the TS-940, TS-811 and TS-711. It is possible to save yourself a few dollars and lose nothing in quality by buying the parts to upgrade your Kenwood radio for computer control. Just purchase the parts were you find them and install them using the instructions in the Radio's Manual. IC 54 is a uPD-8251-AC Serial Communications Interface. Commonly called an 8251A ($1.89 Mail Order) IC 55 is a TC-4040-BP 12 Stage CMOS Divider. Commonly called a 4040 ($0.69 Mail Order) The IC-10 Interface Kit from Kenwood Contains ONLY these two parts and less instructions than are in this file. The only thing you are going to miss, is the $22+ price tag on the IC-10 Kit. Signals are TTL levels (NOT RS-232) Baud rate is 4800 (1200 Opt.) Format is ASCII Serial; 1 Start, 8 Data, 2 Stops The Baud rate may be changed to 1200 Baud by removing jumper W50 and installing a jumper from the left pad to the center pad as viewed from the front of the radio. This will become obvious once you have the radio opened up. Many other Baud rates are possible, just look at the schematic. CONTINUED IN FILE TS440S.20
