-An Icom PMR set that seems good for 1200bd Packet - 9600 testing to follow.
+An Icom PMR set that seems good for 1200bd/9600 Packet
 Short version:
-  * OPC-617 cable gives you a DB9 data port
+  * OPC-617 cable gives you a DB9 data port, home-brew is also possible
   * You need to enable external PTT on the cable through the programming software
   * You need to bridge solder pad F on the main board to enable data input through the cable
-  * I briefly flicked the Ninos to 9600 and I got the test sequences going, dummy load to antenna, but I need to spend more time on this.
+  * Martin G6FJI briefly flicked his Ninos to 9600 and got the test sequences going, dummy load to antenna
+  * Simon M0GZP tested IC-F210S with Yaesu FT8900 using two Ninos at 9600 and communication seemed to work well
+  * Further testing needed and encouraged

+If you don't have an OPC617 cable you can connect direct to the connector on the board as follows:

+Here is an example of such a home-brew connection:

+The connector is an 11 pin JST ZH plug, but any size down to a 5 pin JST ZH can be used for connecting to NinoTNC (only pins 7,8,9 and 11 are needed)
