 The Tait T2000 II series are an older generation of "PMR" radios that have become popular with Amateurs due to their availability, reasonable pricing and models available for the 70cms, 2m and 4m bands (Note they're single band only).
-A VHF T2010 has been tested at 1200b (AX.25) and 2400b (IL2P) and performed well for both Tx and Rx. Deviation is limited in the hardware, so 9600b hasn't been tested yet.

 Testing indicates the pin out is as follows (Use at your own risk). Note that other pins provide other functions including 13.8v, so make sure any cable you use isn't connecting undocumented pins to your TNC or similar:

+===== TS0220 =====
+A couple of different issue numbers of this board has been seen, that seem lartgely the same with some minor differences in PCB layout. Iss 3 has been confirmed with the pinout below, and Iss 5 is also believed to be the same based on [[https://gist.github.com/makuk66/8165a0971c99b613ea5524e2aec2e8a4]]. There are a couple of wires soldered on these examples so do check your version if you have it. Has been seen in a T2010-321-F00 and a T2010-321-F93.
+With this board a NinoTNC Signals dip switch setting of 1100 was found to work (I'm not sure if the option board matters specifically for this setting).

+====== Internal Adjustment Controls ======
+You may not need to mess with these, but you can use internal pots to fine-tune frequency, deviation, CTCSS deviation, and output power (and probably a few other things as well based on the diagram).
+When programming the radio, you can set a channel to high or low power, and the power pot will affect both these settings. This can be useful if you are looking for a specific power output. There is a hole in the metal cover through which you can inset a flat head screwdriver to adjust. It is very sensitive, so only give it a little movement.
