They sell the RASCAL interface kit. I use it all the time with my IBM
Thinkpad and my 140S.

Can the TS-140S be linked to a PC? I have little info on this subject. I
heard about the IF-232C interface and the RS-232 serial port. But I need
to
hear from anyone who has linked his TS-140S to a PC.

I have a bunch of projects in mind, now that I have the time. That's why
I've
been doing a lot of posting

Thanks,

I think there may be two topics here....are you looking for the
interface that will allow you to control your radio with software on
the PC, such as software to do logging, frequency and mode control,
beam direction control, logging, etc., or are you looking for an
interface to allow you to operate with soundcard software to get you
on PSK31, RTTY, slow scan TV and other digital modes?

The IF-232C interface may have been discontinued by now. The good news
is that you can construct your own interface with a MAX32 IC, and a
74LS04 IC for about $4.00 plus a little box to mount the circuit in.

If its a soundcard interface you're looking for the Rascal is a good
choice as is the Tigertronics or Rigblaster. And there are a number of
other good ones out there too. It all depends on how much money you
want to spend.

What exactly are you trying to do? The TS-140 is new enough to be
computer controlled easily.
