Icom Tranciever CAT Interface products and fall into the following categories:
- Icom CAT (CI-V) interfaces to allow remote control of your transceiver via your PC.
- Icom CAT (CI-V) and audio interfaces giving full access to modes such as PSK31
- D-Star Interface Cables
The CAT cables are compatible with a huge range of Icom Equipment. See the individual product descriptions to check which interface is right for your transceiver.
You will need suitable software such as Ham Radio Deluxe, MixW, N1MM and many more that allow the interface to be powered via you PC's RS232 port. If you are uncertain as to software compatiblity, use the Contact Us page and we will be more than happy to advise.
Your chosen software will need to be able to set the RS232 port DTR line high 100% of the time to provide the interface with power and toggle the RTS line to actuate the transceiver PTT.
The USB versions of the interfaces are powered from the the USB bus and will be compatible so long as your software supports the transceiver.
If your PC does not have an RS232 port, the interfaces are fully compatible with USB to RS232 adapters. XGGCOMMS recommends using adapters with the FTDI chipset for best reliability.
The interfaces offer high noise immunity, excellent data integrity and can operate up to the maximum CAT baud rates the transceivers support. See the "CI-V and CAT Performance Data" page for more information.
