Connecting the TNC or MCP to a personal computer or dumb terminal requires an RS-232C cable.

Select LSB or USB mode (it depends on the communication mode) when you operate the MCP/ TNC.

Note: Do not share a single power supply between the transceiver and the TNC or MCP. Keep as wide a separation as possible between
