Kenwood TK 7360 + SignaLink USB

[toastycookies]

Just got a TK 7360 installed that I am planning on using with digital modes (mainly using FL Digi) on 2 meters.

I plan to use a SignaLink USB between the computer and radio and would like to connect via the TK 7360's DB 15 port.

I have the KCT 60 DB 15 to molex cable.

Should I just get the unterminated SignaLink cable (SLUSBNC) ?

Which pins go where?

And if so where do I get the molex pins to crimp onto it so that I can connect it to the KCT-60 molex plug?

Thank you.

Ok just gotta figure out the pins and I think it'll be fine.


I will post something once this is done for yall.

I could not figure out how to get it to work through the back DB15 port.

I made a cable out of some cat5 and a couple of rj45 connectors and have it working perfectly through the mic port.

I want to be able to leave the mic connected while interfacing through the SignaLink.


Any ideas?

Find/make an RJ-45 switch.

Did you program the pins correctly on the DB-15?

I used pins 4,5,6 (6 being programmed in the radio for an eternal PTT)

I am assuming the KCT-60 is a straight pass though?

If not then well I have no idea.

Receive works fine though it, cannot get it to TX though.

Works perfectly with the cat5 cable I just made for the mic port.

I don't have the programming software for that radio, so I'm not sure how it works.

I do know from doing this on NX-700's and NX-900's that there are some settings you have to do with the DI line, telling it where to get it's input, etc.

Check your PM's....
