Station Mark 2 

This was sadly a case of desperation turned out after 15+ years in storage my IC-706 had fallen rather Ill. Although it all seemed ok, Turns out the FM stage was massively faulty and doing all sorts of nasty things. So a rummage in the draws to see what else I had turned up my Wouxun KG-UV6D Handheld after some Googling I came across inspiration in the form a YouTube Video by KC3KPC 

Baofeng UV-5R Mod for Allstar & IRLP Nodes (Ham Radio) - Have a watch!

My modification varied a little from his design, I actually tapped into the Green LED (Receive LED) signal and am using that as my COS line.

I repurposed the SignaLink USB interface box and fingers crossed. It worked!
