There is no "KPC-2" manual. There are a couple of manuals that cover the early KAM, KPC-1, KPC-2, KPC-2400 combined, but they total about 3-400 pages, making copying or e-mailing impractical or inordinately expensive.

This HAS already been addressed within the past year, so you may find a quicker answer by using the "search" function here at QRZ.

I'll dig out the manuals from my archive and post the cable wiring here.

P.S. No offense, but E-mail answers help only one person. Posted here at QRZ, the answer, which could well help others, will be available to anyone who searches for it. And allows comments by others.

OK, now are you looking for the TNC-> Computer connecting wiring,

OR the TNC-> Radio connection???

The TNC-> Computer uses the (standard) RS-232c/DB-25 (DCE) connector. the radio-> TNC uses a cable compatable with the radio to a DB-9 MALE connector.

OR both?

The computer -> TNC is simple, but BEWARE!!! Pins 25 and 18 must NOT be connected, or need to be removed from any cable in use. In the KPC-2, there were special use, and improper use can cause damage to the TNC, computer, or both.

Hmmm. No reply here or from a private e-maiil in five days. Guess it's not THAT important.
