All unused wires of the TRX control cable must not be twisted or soldered together. All
unused wires have to be insulated seperately avoiding to touch each others.

Many KENWOOD radios use a 6 pin DIN socket for remote control. Into some older
transceiver types the serial interface has to be installed previously. Please read the equipment
handbook or consult your dealer.

Newer Kenwood transceiver (since TS-570) have a 9 pin SUB-D connector and operate with
V24 levels for transceiver control. It´s intended for direct connection to a COM port of a PC.
Also these transceivers can easily be controlled by the PTC-IIpro. Just solder a 9 pin connector
to the attached cable as shown in the table below.

3.6.2 Connections PTC - ICOM
Nearly all ICOM equipment has a 3.5 mm jack socket for remote control. Bi-directional
communication is carried out over a single wire, in order that data can be both sent and
received. Different transceivers have different addresses, so it is possible for more than one
transceiver to be connected to the remote control cable. Further information can be found in the
appropriate literature from ICOM.
