This lead is fitted with DB9 connector. It is designed specifically for CAT (Computer Aided Transceiver) system, which controls transceiver frequency, PTT, mode and other functions by computer. The cable itself does not produce interferences. An external power supply is not required. The power supply is done over the USB interface, following the USB 2.0 specs.
The cable communicates directly with a PC through the now popular and standard USB interface. It emulates a Serial Port but that port communicates with a radio at TTL voltage levels. A Serial Port connection is not needed since the cable emulates one for you. The cable is compatible with all versions of Windows that support USB operation. This only includes Windows 98SE, ME, W2K, XP, Vista or higher.
Many up to date notebook computers support only USB interfaces, but no more Serial Ports. On a desktop PC the few serial devices are already in use. You can connect as many USB devices as you want to your PC. The cable is a new CAT interface for USB 2.0 or USB 1.1, for all those PCs without Serial Ports.
You can download drivers here. As usual a virtual Serial Port is created, so that any Windows based rig control software that is compatible with your computer and radio may be used. This zipped file is complete with full installation instructions.
Presently available ham radio sound card software, this set, a radio and a computer is the easy and modern way to operate: PSK31/63/125/250/500, MFSK8, MFSK16, MT63, THROB, Feld Hellschriber, PSK Hellschriber, FM Hellschriber, Duplo Hellschriber, Concurrent MT Hellschriber, Sequential MT Hellschriber, SSTV, FAX, WEFAX, RTTY, AMTOR/SITOR, ASCII, PACTOR, G-TOR, HF and VHF PACKET, APRS, CW, SSB Contest Voice Keying, FSK, WSJT FSK441, WSJT JT44, CW High Speed Meteor Scatter, NAVTEX, Q15X25, Olivia, Domino, Echo-Link and many others.
There is a lot of digital mode programs listed on the Dr. Oliver Welp, DL9QJ web site alone and more can be found on the Internet! Most of these are or and in many cases provide a level of performance beyond your wildest dreams! Data modes are at the cutting edge of radio communications, making maximum use of the limited and precious band space. And with modes like BPSK31 or Olivia, you will be amazed how it is possible to pull signals out of the noise and decode them 100% when normal voice communications is impossible.
You will find that when you purchase our USB Data Mode Set you will possibly never need to replace it. This set is extensively tested at time of manufacture to be free of defects. This set does not include any manuals or instructions for use. Therefore, it will be assumed that the purchaser is knowledgeable in using the set for the applications it is designed for. We do not write software for radio programming or interfacing a radio to a computer. We also cannot properly support software, only the author of that software can. Presently we do not make radio transceivers or computers so we cannot support these products either.
