Subject:   PK232 Wiring To The TS-440S

I HAVE HEARD THAT THE WIRING IN THE TS-440S DOES NOT CONNECT TO THE 13 PIN.
I HAVE NOT TRIED THE 13 PIN CONNECTOR BUT I USE THE RCA JACKS.
ALSO TURN MIKE AUDIO OFF OR GROUND PIN 9 IN THE 13 PIN CONNECTOR WHILE RUNNING
PACKET.
THERE HAS BEEN QUESTIONS ABOUT HOW TO CONNECT THE PK-232 TO A KENWOOD TS-440S
HERE IS THE WAY I DID IT....

PK-232 END          TS-440S END

  1 <--------------> AFSK OUT RCA JACK
  2 <------x-------> AFSK IN RCA JACK
  3 <--------------> SQUELCH DETECT, DON'T CONNECT
  4 <--------------> GROUND TO SHELL OF ABOVE AND PIN 8 ON 13 PIN CONNECTOR
  5 <------x-------> PTT LINE, PIN 13 ON 13 PIN CONNECTOR
PIN 9 ON 13 PIN CONNECTOR <---x------> PIN 8 ON 13 PIN CONNECTOR

YOU COULD ADD A 3PDT SWITCH AT THE x TO SWITCH THE AFSK IN,PTT AND GROUND
PIN 9 ALL AT THE SAME TIME. THAT WAY IF IN VOICE THERE IS NO CHANCE OF
TRANSMITTING PACKET.

 I USED MICROPHONE COAX CABLE FROM EACH OF THE RCA JACKS AND REMOTE CONNECTOR
THEN SPLICE ON TO THE CABLE THAT CAME WITH YOUR PK-232..
IF YOU HAVE ACCESS TO A 5 PIN .100 CENTER CONNECTOR THAT WILL PLUG INTO THE
PK-232 YOU COULD AVOID SPLICING AND MAKE THE COMPLETE CABLE FROM THE ABOVE
MENTIONED CABLE.
YOU COULD ALSO USE RG-174 OR RG-188 IF YOU CAN FIND IT..
RADIO SHACK SELLS THE SMALL MIC CABLE...

PK-232 WIRE CODE :
  PIN 1 GREEN   RX AUDIO IN TO PK-232
  PIN 2 WHITE   TX AUDIO FROM PK-232
  PIN 3 BLACK   SQUELCH  (NC)
  PIN 4 BROWN   GROUND
  PIN 5 RED     PTT LOW STATE IS TX
