is there anywhere on this earth I can get a jav-232 cable?

surely there might be somewhere else I could get one?

What are the connectors? Maybe some other cable will do the same job.

The JAV-232 as listed on our web site was only ever available through
us.

As it stands at the moment I do still have some blank PCB's ready to
populate however some of the original components used are no longer
available. Alternatives are listed by the likes of Farnells but I have
yet to check/confirm that they are of the same dimensions and/or will
work in the same design.

What radio was it primarily to be used with ?

thanks for your response.
My scanner is an AR8200 MkII. I got myself a standard CC8200 (for the meantime) and modified it, changing the serial connector end
into a breakout box with an audio jack but unfortunately there's no squelch/mute on the audio, and I would like a cable that can
give me this.

I haven't seen a cable yet that will do the same as the jav-232. If there is another cable I'd be grateful to know about it.

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.

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.

Same with all other RS-232 to TTL converters.

The cables on Don's site make it easy - they do the level conversion.
All you have to do is the connector conversion. I haven't seen a
schematic of the jav-232, but I'd be veru surprised if it was anything
more than a bidirectional level converter.
