Great information John. I may try this mod later. My V7 is getting
old and it has the known problem with the display. It's getting
very hard to read but it's ok if you aren't going to change the
frequency. So it won't matter if I break it.<br>
<br>
It looks like Kenwood fixed this on the V71.<br>

<div>A quick 'Google' for information on the TM-V7 turned up an

<div>Thanks, Gentlemen. Several pinouts were apparent, but
I wasn't sure if I should use the AC coupled URI options
or not. I guess better safe than sorry...</div>
<div> </div>
<div>I didn't realize that TM-V7 audio followed squelch
and not CTCSS until I saw your post. Wonder if there's a
better point inside the radio to grab CTCSS
acknowledgement? I'm often in areas that have a bit of
stray RF that may cause some problems. Had to move to a
different band just to avoid this situation with my
Kenwood TH-F6. </div>

<div text="#000000" bgcolor="#FFFFFF"> Hi John,<br>
<br>
I bought the cable when I ordered the URIx from
dmk engineering. It's the d25 to packet data
port 6 pin din connector. Here's the pin out:<br>
<br>
<br>
6 pin
din radio connector db25 URIx
connector <br>
<br>
1 - Data
In 22 - Left
Out <br>
2 -
Ground 13 -
Ground <br>
3 -
PTT 1
- PTT <br>
4 - no
connection
XXXXXXXXXXXXX <br>
5 - AF
Out 1200 BPS 21 - MIC In AC
<br>
6 -
SQ 8
- COR Det <br>
<br>
I think the 6 pin din connector is the same on
all radios that have it. I also have a Kenwood
TM-V7. Look at my post from earlier. On this
radio the audio follows the squelch not the
CTCSS. If the radio makes a transition from
squelched to un-squelched it will activate
transmit on the node and it will kerchunk the
system. I have to leave my squelch turned up
pretty high so it doesn't constantly key up the
node. <br>

Generally you use pin 1 PTT, pin 8,
COS - you would use either
carrierfrom=usb or =usbinvert in
simpleusb.conf depending on the COS
polarity from your rig, Pin 20 gnd,
Pin 21 Mic AC in (audio from rig), and
22 Left audio (audio to rig).<br>
<br>
Pin 7 and 8 are just gpio input pins.
You can use either but I generally use
8. Pin 7 would follow the
ctcssfrom= Set the one you are not
using to =no<br>
<br>
That should be all you need. I will
have to put some connection diagrams
up on the web. If anyone has them for
their particular rig please pass them
on. It would be good to build a
library of them for reference.<br>
