•
PTT, PKS, or SEND, would be connected to the PTT pin on the
KAM’98.
•
Ground(GND), PTT ground, E(earth ground), or DE(data ground) would
connect to the ground pin on the KAM ’98.
Some radios also have a squelch, BUSY, or PSQ pin, which indicates wheather
the squelch on the radio is open or closed. A connection from the KAM ’98 to
this pin on the radio is rarely, if ever, needed.
If you also wish to be able to transmit CW with the KAM ’98, you must also con
-
nect its CW key line to the CW key jack on the radio, in the same way an exter
-
nal keyer or hand key would be connected.
+ There are many different models of transceivers, each with their own exact re-
quirements for how they are to be connected to devices such as a KAM’98.
While the following examples will help, you will need to refer to your transceiver
documentation (or transceiver dealer) for exact instructions on which connections
you need to make as you wire your transceiver cable assembly.
Note: If you need further assistance on your radio cabling, contact the radio man-
ufacturer, your dealer, or a local amateur who has already installed a TNC.
Kantronics is not likely to have pin assignments for specific transceiver models,
since hundreds of models are available.
The following diagrams, used for example only, show wiring connections be
-
tween the male connector for the KAM’98’s “Radio” port and transceivers (in
-
cluding HTs) from three major manufacturers: Yaesu, ICOM, and Kenwood.

These diagrams may also apply to transceivers from other manufacturers, but you
need to check to be sure how your transceiver needs to be wired. (See the section
on “Interfacing Hand-Held Radios” in the the “Advanced Installation” appendix
for further information.
