I've been looking at Motorola Syntor X radios for awhile
for conversion to the 2 meter ham band. From what I've been
able to learn, that shouldn't be a problem.

Awhile back I purchased a radio that should do the trick.
My problem now is getting cables and a control head that
will work. The information I've been able to gather seems
to indicate a bewildering variety of control heads are
out there.

I would like to know if someone with experience with these
units would be willing to answer some questions off-line
about what combination of pieces I need to acquire to make
this work.

I have considered going with the Piexx "revival" hardware,
but my station computer is a Linux box and their control
software is not available for Linux.
