Has anybody got a pogo adapter available? I've got a Kameleon to supplement my supply of JP1 remotes, and don't need an entire "kit plus..." or "cable plus...". I just need a pogo adapter.

If you're unlucky in your quest for a pogo adapter, or just fancy something different, you could
try using springs. I'll take some pictures of one of my interfaces (for the Kameleon 4-in-1 URC8040) and put in the file area. Nils Ekberg's suggestion of the inclusion of a thin piece of board with holes to act as guides seems a good idea. So far my Kameleon is behaving well and doesn't need the batteries in it to upload and download so the adapter can be kept very simple for this remote.

I can't visualize what you're trying to describe, but am happy to look at a picture. From the looks of it, the 9960 (my Kameleon) has none of the challenges with battery covers or retainers or any of that sort of stuff. I just need to be able to hold the JP1 interface securely against the pads.

Thanks for the pointers. UQ, your solution is far too labor-intensive for me - I'll suck up the $10 and get it from Hovis. Thanks again.
