Here's a thought:

I have a Zetron model 30 worldpatch and a Yaesu FT-8800.

I was wondering if I could connect the Zetron to the Yaesu using the packet connections from the DIN connector on the back.

Has audio in both directions with respective grounds. PTT and COR.

So what modifications would I need to make before connecting the two?

I would power Zetron from same power supply as Yaesu.

Thanks!

Also how do I handle the decode issue? Do I simply ground it permanently?

Looks like the radio and controller will be able to handle eachother without any modifications.

I'll post my results when I scavenge a PS2 keyboard cable.

Will be a simplex phone patch connected to a magic jack using my FT8800 setup as a base.

Looks like I'll need to order the CT-39A packet cable to simplify the hookup.

Anyone know where I can find the connector for the Zetron model 30?
