Cooling fan is on the way from Ham Radio Outlet. I replaced the antenna on the TYT radio with a 50-watt dummy load. I updated the information about the wiring between the radio and the DB9 adapter, and the part number for the wire jumper is shown in a screenshot of part of my Digikey order. And I added a few more photos of the rear of the package.

One day later...

[1] The radio gets pretty warm. I'll add a cooling fan to the system to control the temperature.

[2] Audio reports from other AllStar users tell me the audio quality is high but my internet connection is less good. Some packet loss is affecting my transmissions. Nothing I can do about that. I've updated all of my network hardware (including the cable modem) so this particular issue is outside my control, other than to consider a different provider.
