Depending on the TNC you are using with your IC910 a split data cable works the best in sat mode. TX to main band din connector and RX to sub band connector. I had my cables made by Associated Radio who helped to figure out the right cable to make. Yes I have to use several cables to work with the different rigs & TNC's I use.

What's the best way to hook an IC-910 to a TNC for digital modes?
For awhile now I've been listening to the packets from GO-32 and I would now like to start sending some packets. Up until now, I've used the miniDin-6 for the main band and taking the 9600-baud audio line to the TNC with good results. In order to transmit I think that I need to build a spit cable, Rx audio to the sub band and Tx audio to main band miniDin connector?
This all seems to get too complicated when I need to build yet another cable for Tx/Rx on the same band, and even more cables for 1200-baud vs. 9600-baud audio connections. Is there a good solution or do you wind up having a bunch of different cables for various situations?
