Hello all,
I have seen several msgs requesting details on how to connect a TNC to
the ALINCO DJ580 h/held,so heres how i did it !!!
(after immense fiddling,these are the connections used for 6 months)


                        tip  ..  ..ring  ....body
                              .  .       .
                              .  .       .=
                              O [] ========   3.5mm plug
                              .  .       .=
                rx audio ......  .       .
                                 ..n/c   ..gnd



                                           =
                               O [] ========    2.5mm plug
                               :           =
                 TX audio......:
                              ---
                              : :  10 k resistor
                              : :
                              ---
                               :
                 TX ...........:


so,the only connection to the 2.5mm plug is to the TIP!!!! tip=TX audio
TX is to tip via 10k resistor. "sleeve & ring" NO CONNECTIONS

RX audio=TIP of 3.5mm,sleeve NO CONNECTION,body=gnd

Please let me know if this is of any use to you.
don't forget- DO NOT insert/remove plugs while the rig or tnc is on !!
