This adapter board works with some Kenwood commercial radios that utilize a DB25 female option connector.
It converts the radio's 25 pin accessory (option) jack to Mini-DIN-6 female.
Then connection to a RA or DRA with a Mini-DIN-6 is basically Plug & Play with an
inexpensive pre-made cable, available separately.
Works on Kenwood TK-790 / 890 and TK-7180 / 8180 radios.
While these radios utilize different pins for transmit audio -
a simple 3-pin mechanical header selects which pin is connected.
No soldering required.
Kenwood TK-790 / 890 radios require the TXA Select jumper set to "13".
Kenwood TK-7180 / 8180 radios require the TXA Select jumper set to "5".

Description:
This connector adapter attaches to SOME Kenwood radios that have a DB25
accessory (option) jack. It converts the DB25 female option jack to Mini-DIN-6 female,
allowing an inexpensive Mini-DIN-6 male-to-male cable to be used between the radio and RA/DRA.
The DB25 male connector has gold plated contacts.
Cables:
Our DRAC-12 and DIN6-Shortie Cables are compatible
with this adapter board, and easily connect to RAs and DRAs with a Mini-DIN-6 Radio Connector.
Consider the DRA-50M for digital, or our RA-47M for AllStar Link.
This adapter connects both 1200 (Speaker) and 9600 (Discriminator) receive audio to separate pins on the Mini-DIN-6 connector under the industry standard pinout. The TXA Pin selection is done by the TXA Select header on this board. RX baud selection is done on the RA / DRA. No Soldering Required!
This adapter provides the squelch signal (COS) and is compatible with AllStar Link or any protocol that requires knowing the status of the receiver (squelched / unsquelched). Proper programming of the radio may be required.
The board simply plugs in and is secured with two 4-40 screws (supplied).
Available assembled and tested (only).
