Yes, it is a standard in the Japanese ham industry. Most of the newer 2M and
multiband VHF/UHF mobile rigs have it. Some the rigs I am familiar with that
definitely have it are:
All currrent Kenwood FM mobiles including the D700 (which already has a TNC
in it), the TM-V7, the TM-G7. the TM-26x series monobanders, etc. The
older-generation TM742/743 tribanders lack this connector.
The Yaesu FT-1500, FT-2500, FT-100 ("DC-to-light" HF/VHF/UHF micro mobile),
FT-817 portaluggie, FT-847 "Earth Station", etc
Icom IC-706 "DC-top-light" mobile
The connector normally has de-emphasized and squelched RX audio (sometimes
labeled "1200 baud"), raw RX discriminator audio (sometimes labeled "9600
baud"), PTT, squelch indicator, (hi/low logic level), TX audio (usually at
something resembling home audio line level around .2-.5 V; i.e. not mic
level), and PTT.
On the multimode rigs with SSB as well as FM, the "1200 baud" output is live
on SSB but of course the discriminator direct out "9600 baud" pin is dead
during SSB operation.
A diagram of this connector with it's pinout is on my website at:

Click through the link and look for the file MiniDIN6-Packet.pdf
Incidentally, you wouldn't want to use an S-Video cable. This type of cable
has the mating plug, but only 4 conductors (essentially two tiny coax cables)
are connected through end-to-end. You want to get a PS/2 mouse/keyboard
extension cable (male-to-female) or a PS/2 KVM switchbox cable (male-to-male)
from a computer store. These cables normally have all six conductors carried
through end-to-end, with a foil shield surrounding all six wires connected
to the connector shell.

Did I see someone mention they got Xastir to work under Cygwin? Can you
tell me which Cygwin packages are needed? I downloaded the basic Cygwin
stuff along with gcc and when I tried to ./configure libax25, it says gcc
cannot create an executable. How'd you get it to work?

You can't use libax25 on windows. You can however run with serial
KISS-mode TNC's and regular serial-mode TNC's.
Check out http://www.xastir.org and there's a link to the
README.win32 file which says how to install Xastir and the map
libraries.
Subscribe to the xastir mailing list and ask further questions
there. Hope to see you on the map soon with it!

The bulk of the work on the 2003 Baker to Vegas Challenge Cup Relay
tracking website has been completed. There may be some last minute changes
to the team key or to the page itself, but it is ready to go. Any
Java-enabled web browser will allow you to watch a good percentage of the
teams as they complete the various sections of the race. I would like to
thank Pete Loveall (AE5PL), Stephen Hooper (K7ACS), and Ralph Sbragia
(W6CSP) for helping to get the page functional.
The address:
http://b2v.aprsca.net
Top reasons for viewing the Baker to Vegas tracking page:
1. To track your favorite Law Enforcement team as they win (or lose).
2. To stare in awe at the number of stations crawling along CA-127.
3. To learn about javAPRS and how it can be useful to you.
4. You just really have nothing better to do on April 12 or 13.
NOTE: For those of you who like to use your own APRS program to monitor the
race, a new overlay file (b2v.pos) is available for downloading on the
website. I personally checked the coordinants of each checkpoint and made
updates to a file that dated from 1997... Additionally, there is an
alternate tracking page on the Orange County RACES website
http://www.ocraces.org Enjoy! -73
