CW Interface Cables

This cable works with your solid-state-final (i.e. direct-keying) radio and IBM PC to send CW from the keyboard, when using appropriate software. The 8' shielded cable features a connector for your PC's port and a 1/4" stereo plug for your radio's KEY jack (the stereo plug is compatible with most modern radio that have built-in keyers).

Contact me for cables for older grid-block tube-final rigs.

Choose the desired model:

CW Serial Port Interface for all PC operating systems

Features a DB9 connector. This cable is known to work with CT, NA, and WriteLog logging software, but will work with any application that supports a COM port CW interface which uses the ‘standard’ scheme of keying the DTR pin. Check your software manual.

$28 + $4 S/H (in US)
CW Parallel Port Interface for DOS/Win95/98

This cable is known to work with CT, NA, DX4WIN, and WriteLog software, but will work with any similar application as long as the software uses the same ‘standard’ LPT pinout (most ham radio apps do). NOTE: This cable will NOT work with WinNT, Win2000, or WinXP.
