Or, a person can build their own interface and save quite a bit of
money. An article describing such an interface was written by
Wallace Blackburn AA8DX and appeared in February 1993 QST, pages 37
to 41. In fact the author covers interfaces for Kenwood, Icom,
Yaesu, and Ten-Tec. I am in the process of building the unit for
my TS-850 I just bought and should complete it tonight. His approach
uses a Harris ICL232 or Maxim MAX232 TTL to RS-232 converter chip and
optoisolators for complete isolation of the rig from the computer.

4800, 8 bits, no parity, 2 stop bits. Seems to be a Kenwood
"Standard".
