I helped sell every one we had on hand at the\nAMSAT booth in Dayton. Another perspective, about 2 years ago I replaced my\nISA bussed motherboard for a new one. The only ISA bussed mobo I could\nfind(that was under $500) cost $190. Other then the two ISA slots, it had\nthe comparable performance of a $35 mobo! My next computer upgrade for my\nsat control system will use an LVB to control rotors. The Kansas City\ntracker ISA card will be heading to the Smithsonian Institution....\n\n73 Jeff kb2m\n\n\n-----Original Message-----\nFrom: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On\nBehalf Of Mark L.

It's a very fair\nprice at US$200.

The DFN TNC doesn't appear to have a mini-DIN,\nso, that's why I didn't think the mini-DIN answer was what he was\nlooking for :)\n\nhttp://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?VISuperSize&item=320392587069\n\nExcellent information, history and details, though, Greg! Thanks!\nIn the shack I have a couple each of the PSK-1 and PSK-1T units, and\nmanuals. The PSK-1T with the built in TNC is really slick (the \"T\"\ndesignates the built in TNC, no disconnect header hookup needed!)\n\nHopefully the chatter will help John get his stuff going--but I think\nhe STILL needs the 8pin DIN info for the DFN....my hunch is that it's\nthe Paccomm \"standard\" pinout for hooking up the tx audio/rx\naudio/PTT/GRND, but I can't confirm.\n\n73,\n\nMark N8MH\n__________\n\n\n>> John -- I think Greg means the 8-pin DIN, not the mini-DIN ....\nNo. The PSK-1 RS-232 port to the Computer is J10, which is a mini-8 DIN on\nrear panel.\nI am looking at the back panel of my PSK-1 here in workbench!\n\nThe PSK-1 also has 8-pin DIN (J2) for the TNC Modem Connection (via 20-pin TAPR\ndisconnect header on Tiny-2 or TAPR TNC-2);\nand three 5-pin DIN connections: TNC Radio Connection (J4); VHF Radio (J1); UHF\nRadio (J3) ---\nthe separate VHF and UHF radio connections were useful for the Icom VHF/UHF\nradios (271/471; 275/475) of that era.\n\nThe PSK-1 and PSK-1T modems do have different rear panel connector types!\nLOOK at the REAR PANEL (eBay auction # 320392587069 has a rear panel photo)\nOn the PSK-1T, there is an 8-pin Mini-DIN marked CONTROL (RS-232), I assume\nthat Gywn kept the pin out the same as the PSK-1\nand would connect this to a PC serial port (RS-232) that is running a terminal\nemulation or control program.\nTo the left is a Male DB-9 marked PACKET (RS-232) ...
