IC10.2

  The IF-232 Interface from Kenwood is a 1488 and a 1489 chip
in a box.  These are an RS-232 Quad Line Driver and Receiver
and are available at Radio Shack for $1.29 Each.  Here is an
easy project that will save you a lot over the $69+ Kenwood price 
of the IF-232 Interface.  The 1488 needs a + and - supply.
Unregulated + and - 12vdc is just fine. Get the +5 vdc for the
1489 by putting a 7805 regulator on the +12 vdc supply.  100 ma.
is about the max you'll draw, so the smallest transformer you
can find will still be plenty large.  Don't forget to series up
two of each gate to cancel the inversion that the 1480's produce.



ACC-1  Connector                  Use a 6 Pin DIN Connector.
