No problem, it's there... option #39 on the menu.

And come to think of it, I've probably got some old KVM cables in the garage
that should have female mini-DINs on them already. Keyboard cables might be
too thick for the hole, though.

.You're not home yet!  The 1200 / 9600 contact pads are for RECEIVE --
not transmit!

...

NORMALLY THIS SWITCHING IS DONE BY AN  ITEM IN THE RADIO'S CONFIGURATION
SETUP MENUS.

The real $179.95 question is:
        Does the U.S. version of the radio's firmware contain the menu
entry for 1200 vs 9600 baud TX  select?

Or will you have to do the magic diode cutting or jumpering,  ala
http://mods.dk  ,  to convert the radio to the Euro version to get the
packet-speed-select menu option to appear?
