Yaesu FT-1500m
A stout, compact, monoband 2m FM transceiver.
TNC cable
| Pin | Use | NinoTNC / Kantronics pin |
| 1 | TX audio | 1 |
| 3 | PTT | 3 |
| 5 | RX audio | 5 |
| 2 | GND | 6 |
A suitable cable can be made from a PS/2 extension lead, scrap PS/2 mouse or keyboard. Sometimes with the mouse/keyboard option, not all of the required pins are populated, so may not be suitable. Identify the pins with a multimeter (a croc clip lead is useful here.) Solder a DB9 plug on to the other end as above.
Failure mode
A failure mode which has been observed a few times is a very short wideband (hundreds of kHz-wide) pulse of noise at the start of transmission. Be mindful of this since it is quite disruptive. No solution is known.
