- Hello Dave..
-
- I have experience with both programs - I would, without question
- recommend KAGOLD! HM2PLUS is (was) good in it's day, but it is
- old, and not much support from Kantronics. This is not a slam
- against the fine folks at Kantronics, just a fact that we and
- they are aware of. On the other hand, KAGOLD is a fully supported
- software product with programmers at the other end of the phone/
- internet that listen to it's users - refreshing.
-
- KAGOLD runs under windows if you want, or under DOS. Many, many
- fine features, too many to list, so my vote is for KAGOLD - ok?

- Hello Greg..
-
- Try this out:
-
- " The VHF radio connector on the KAM Plus rear panel is a 9-pin DB
- style connector with a pre-wired 9 conductor cable and a mini-plug
- attached. The cable wiring is:
-
- Pin Number Pin Name Color Function
- 1 AFSK white Transmit Audio
- 2 XCD yellow External Carrier Detect
- 3 PTT brown Push to Talk
- 4 RCV blue Receive Audio
- 5 GNDRCV * Receive Audio
- 6 GND shield Ground
- 7 N/A red Not Used
- 8 GND green Ground
- 9 GND black Ground
-
- * Center of Mini-Plug (audio from radio)
-
- Hope this helps you out Greg.. 73 de Mike
