Electronic port doubler for the CAT interface on FT-817/857/897
If you want to use more than one device on the CAT interface, for example logging program and antenna controller or an external keyboard. CAT-Mate provides two CAT connectors and receives CAT commands from both inputs, the reply from the radio is directed to the socket where the last command came from. CAT port activity is shown with a LED. Further the CAT-Mate has an integrated RS-232 interface, to connect to a serial port only a normal serial cable is required (replaces CT-62). The CAT-Mate does not require a power supply.
Note: The CAT-MATE is not suitable when using a tuner (such as the FC-30, FC-40 etc.) on the FT-857/D or FT-897/D that uses the radio's Tune function/button and the CAT port of the radio for control.
Modern transceivers provide you with more ports than the United Arab Emirates! ALC, PTT, RTTY, audio in, audio out, keying, squelch, band data... All useful, all good, couldn't get along without them, but most of these functions are crammed into one or two multi-pin jacks. And even after you find the right plug, if you want to use more than one function you have to attach multiple cables to it. Cramped soldering, and the cable bundle is usually too big for the plug sleeve. Then, after you get it all hooked up, changing anything means you have to strip your station right down to the electrons and start all over again.
The RCA-14 is a breakout box for the accessory jack on most popular transceivers. It comes with cables with the right DIN plugs and all the output are simple RCA jacks. Plug the RCA-14 into your radio's accessory jack and all of your ports are right at your finger tips. Enclosure size: 16.2 x 7.5 x 7.5 cm
The RCA-14 comes with 5 different cables: DIN-13, DIN-8, DIN-7, Mini DIN-8 and Mini DIN-6.
Compatible for any radios with the above mentioned connectors. e.g.:
A new USB CAT interface for USB 2.0 or USB1.1, for all those PCs without COMports. Comes with a CD-ROM for true Plug & Play installation. As usual a virtual COMport is created, so that any Windows™ based rig control software that is compatible with your computer and radio may be used. The CD-ROM is complete with full installation instructions and a collection of third party (demo) software.
RIGtalk uses a convenient pocket sized USB dongle design, with a pre-wired and tested cable to fit your radio. Cables available for all Icom and Ten Tec CI-V controllable radios and newer Yaesu CAT. Ready made cables for HT programming and cloning available soon.
The new USB-II interface by microHAM is an enhancement to the popular USB-interface (see above). This interface offers the usual level converters for nearly all CAT interfaces, electrically isolated lines for PTT and CW keying, an input for a squelch signal and electrically isolated audio interfaces. This makes this device ideally suited for all users who wants to run digital modes from the soundcard.
The microHAM USB-II device works with all comouters with USB interface, drivers are available for Windows 98SE/ME/2000/XP, Apple Macintosh OS8/OS9/OS-X and Linux. MS-DOS is not supported.
Unlike common computer mass market "USB to Serial adapters" our USB Interfaces are carefully designed for maximum immunity from strong RFI and at the same time be "RF quiet". Each data line is low pass filtered for minimum interference. The only known product of USB chipset clock is a beat at 144.030MHz.
Important: Cable to radio needs to be ordered separately!

Replaces the original level converters offered by the manufacturers. Identical function, but more affordable and smaller: integrated into the D-Sub connector, just plug it onto the COM port oy your PC. No additional power supply required.
LCU-3 ist not suitable for FT-817, use CT-62 instead.
For PC controlled CW transmission. Two interface, either for serial or parallel port are available. The interface is connected to the port of the PC, additional power supply is not required. Includes 2m long cable with 6.3mm phoje plug.

Parallel interface
Supports "Logic", "CT" and many other programs, works like a simple transistor interface but with the added benefit of an opto isolated interface. No more noise loops or interferences from radio.
