Hi all, Does anyone have any experience making a RigExpert "Tiny" Model: TTL-I-1 for the Yaesu FT-100, FT-817, FT-857, FT-897 work with a Yaesu FT-847 or Kenwood TS-790.
I know I will have to rewire some plugs or make adaptor wires to match the radio's but I was hoping not to re-invent the wheel if someone already figured it out.
The people at RigExpert say they don't make a version for the FT-847.

Rod,
Take a look at http://www.usinterface.com/naviusa_007.htm for a wide variety of cables for the full RigExpert. (The Navigator uses the same pin out.) They should give you some good ideas for the Tiny. Note that the FT-847 has the cables for the PKT and DATA ports wired in parallel, so you will need swap the plugs depending on what mode you are operating. Or, as I did, wire up a simple AB switch. Note that for the PKT connection to use the 1200 baud RX. Several of the RE sites have the wiring incorrectly using the 9600 baud output. It will work, somewhat, but with a very poor S/N. The interface will not handle 9600 baud.
