Hello folks,
I still have an AOR 8200 original receiver purchased from Javation sometime in the late 90's, probably 1999 or 2000. The sticky case problem came and went, I believe I fixed it by cleaning with 409 or Fantastic. At any rate, no more sticky case.
It still has all of the memory banks as I programmed them about 20 years ago and still functions very well. I'd like to update the frequencies that are currently programmed. I also have the RS-8200 rs-232 cable probably manufactured by Javiation. The pc end has a DB-25 cable which I think has a TTL to RS232 level converter. I made a 25 to 9 pin adapter and used that extensively, always worked well. Something I don't recall is a shielded lead that also comes out of the DB25 shell that terminates in a single 1/8 inch plug. I don't recall what that is used for.
At any rate I'm going to look around for some 8200 memory management software and try to figure out how to interface this cable to USB.
Probably a long shot but does anyone manufacture a USB to 8200 cable? If not, instructions to home-brew a cable?
Thanks in advance for help and/or comments.
