Bob, I believe the TS-940S works exactly like the TS-930S. You use the XVRTR connector on the rear (be SURE to use a Kenwood plug...an ordinary 8 pin DIN plug will NOT work and will damage the female connector...I speak from personal experience!). Pin 8 is the HF antenna output from the TS-930, Pin 5 is the RX Ant input and Pin 3 is GND. You can make a switch with Pin 5 as a common and switch between Pin 8 (normal TX antenna) and your Beverage. This is described on page 33 of my 930 manual under "operation with a separate receiver antenna" but it may be different in your 940 manual. I've used this with my 930 since 1984 with no problems whatsoever (never a blown front end). Good luck!
73, Bill W4ZV

Yup, same for 940 and 930 (I used to have both radios and connectors were the same).

Many thanks to those of you who responded!! I should have read a bit further in my manual!. My face is red-a friend told me about the 2nd rig but didn't mention the 2nd antenna.
Thanks again

I have an ususual peice of music gear that has 8 pin DIN connectors. The cable has died from years of abuse and I need to replace it. The problem is that I am not sure if it is an ICOM 8 pin or a Kenwood 8 pin.
Can you tell me how to tell the difference?
I appreciate any advice that you can give me. As it may save me from having to order several heads that I don't need.
