Appendix - Tokyo Hy-Power HL-1.5KFX User Manual

1. ICOM
ICOM CI-V
According to ICOM, any radio model manufactured in 1987 or thereafter is equipped with CI-V.
Consequently most of ICOM's owned by the user now work "Auto Band Set" through CI-V.
ICOM DC VOLTAGE BAND DATA
Following models are equipped with DIN sockets to supply HL-1.5KFX with DC voltage band data as
well as CI-V.
IC-736, -746, -756, -756Pro, -756ProII, -756ProIII, -7400, -775DX II, -780, -7700, -7800
(IC-706MK II series, and -7000 need modification for DC VOLTAGE BAND DATA CABLE
connector, See ICOM manual)
2. YAESU (Binary Coded Voltage)
FT-920, -1000D, -1000MP, -1000MP MKV, -2000, -DX9000
(FT-857D, -897D and -950 need modified special Yaesu Band Data Cable and/or Cable Adaptor.
Contact HRO or Tokyo Hy-Power Head Office, Japan.)
3. KENWOOD (RS-232C Serial Data)
To our regret, there are only three models available that has RS-232C port. Kenwood says old
popular models such as TS-950, -940 are not equipped with these features.
TS-870S, TS-480, TS-2000
(Some Kenwood owners may wish to use RS232C port for PC controlled logging purposes. In this
case, the user will need a Y-shaped special 232C cable, that has two D-Sub plugs in parallel on one
end (one for radio, and one for linear), and one D-Sub plug for PC, where the "TX" line is rather
OPEN, and not closed to avoid the double hand shakings. For more details, contact THP.)
4. OTHERS (TEN-TEC and Elecraft K3)
Using the signal data converter, one may connect ORION to Yaesu socket of HL-1.5KFX. The
converter IC (such as 74C147) will convert the nine band data of ORION (DC level) into binary codes.
Then being polarity inverted through four 74C14 inverter IC, data is sent to 5-PIN DIN sockets of
"YAESU". (For more details, please contact THP.)
K3 can be connected to HL-1.5KFX using supplied Yaesu band cable, only if four lines of decimals
are connected to DC +5V supply through pull-up resistors (one each 4.7k ohm per each of BCD lines,
A, B, C, D.). You may also choose an accessory device for band control solution, such as "STATION
MASTER" by MicroHAM. (Visit www.microham-usa.com)
For further questions, please contact the respective manufacturers' USA service center, and/or THP
Japan. THP believes above information is accurate and correct. However THP assumes no responsibility
for any damage resulting from the connections of the equipments by the users.
