AR8000 Tap

[aar9sm]

Anyone in the group ever done a tap on the AR8000 that can provide me with the correct instructions? If so how difficult is it to perform the tap?

It's pretty easy (careful use of soldering iron like most) and very easy to modify the case. Whilst it's open is a good time to also build in a 'serial' interface to do away with the flat cable.

Morfis,

Excellent site. Have you done the serial interface? I will search google and see what i come up with. Thanks!

Yes, many years ago now. I still have one of my AR8000s in a box somewhere amongst the stuff I've not unpacked since a couple of house moves!
