Learning, always learning
Ok, so it's not an earth changing event, but I finally assembled the DB15 cable I needed to connect my TSR-8 to my MTS-1000.:D

I decided to bite the bullet and see if I could manage soldering the connectors. After buying a pencil style soldering iron and something to hold the tiny damn things while I soldered, I got it! I actually started off using a 25 connector cable. After getting about 4 or 5 leads into it, I decided to scrap it and use Cat 5 cable instead. Much easier to work with solid vs. stranded!

Anyhow, it works! Now the next step is figuring out how to get it all working with Reaper...:confused:

Very true. I realized just why I blew up my capstan motor in my RT-909.:o I think the soldering iron I was using was about the size of a Big Chief pencil...:eek: Live and learn I suppose.

It's just awesome to be able to remotely arm and control my deck from another location!:p Now, to read the book, err, manual that came with the MTS-1000.
