i am looking for info on how hard or easy, it is to program maxon
sp120v2 portable, i have several of them. i have done some research
too of programming information that the usenet really didnot offer
much on when searching google groups over the last 20 years, some key
words like maxon spa-2000 programming programmer adapter OR SK2000
program adapter and spp-480 programmer brought very little info i have
come across both of these in the past at hamfests and wonder if i
should pick some up next hamfest. i can find the following information
on the SPA-2000 adapter from yahoo groups..

it appears that many of these cables contain thier own rib in the
computer connector. there is a MAX chip inside and i think the mas
series is serial, any one know for sure?


i would like to know what the sk2000 programming adapter is for, i
cant find any info on it.

also, where inside of the sm4150/4450 do you plug in the programming
cable?
