There are *many* RS232/TTL cables available. Look on Don Starr's
cable page
http://www.starrsoft.com/software/Win96/Cables/cables.html to start.

thanks but this page seems to be only for Radio Shack scanners and mine is an AOR scanner with the special Options socket.

RS-232 is RS-232, TTL is TTL. Wiring a plug adapter is the easy part.

with an AOR control lead (CC8200) there is a small circuit board tucked inside the serial port plug housing, it's not a case of
just wiring a plug adaptor although I wish it was. I expect the jav-232 cable (if it ever exists again) would contain even more
circuitry. Soldering sections togther is easy. Getting hold of the sections - that's the hard part.
