Hello Ham's,here is the modification for use the FT 708 R for 9600 bd packet operation. Audio output from FT 708 R receiver's Discriminator for 9600bauds --------------------------------------------------------------- by Andrea Borgnino IW1CXZ ------------------------- Here is a very simple way of taking audio direct from the discriminator. Connect a flying lead to pin 9 Q 107 (MC3357P) that is located at the opposite side of the CPU. You can also take the signal from the GREEN cable that goes to the TONE SQUELCH optional unit. TxAudio input into FT 708 R Varactor diode for 9600 bauds ------------------------------------------------------- You must find the D 209 Varactor diode (FC 53) locate near the output DC connection,or near the VR 202 trimmer in the PLL Unit.Then you must insert the TXA signal in the catode of D 209 and the 9600 modification is made. My FT 708 can run 9600 operation very well with a TX DELAY value of 17. Best 73 from IW1CXZ Andrea @I1LYM.#TO.ITA.EURO
