EchoLink
You would connect the TM-V71 or TM-D710 to your PC if you are setting up your own EchoLink node, which will function as a gateway between local RF signals and the EchoLink network. You will need the optional cable set offered by Kenwood (PG-5H), which is package of two different cables. Following the instructions in the manual, connect the cables to the two jacks in the back of the radio and to the serial port and sound card jacks of your computer. The pink plug goes to the mic input of the sound card, and the green plug goes to the line out (or speaker out). The black 9-pin connector goes to the serial port.
