Its as good as the Kantronics KAM Xl (400$ TNC)Īnd its a lot easier to use running Ham radio Deluxe with the Digital programs PSK31 deluxe or DM 780 Multimode!īut! This interface doesent require a USB or Serial port!įor about 30$ including shipping its a fantastic deal! Have already worked two dozen stations without a hitch. It works as GOOD as the Tigertronics Signalink SL-1+ OR the Tigertronics Signalink USB (I own both) Tigertronics has NOTHING on this interface except its double to triple the price! I put this interface together last night in 11 minutes and then it took me another 5 minutes to get my Rig/Soundcard cables put together.Running it on a Yaesu FT-450AT This kit is a great kit! Thanks to Unified Microsystems for providing amateurs with a simple and inexpensive way to enjoy the digital modes. The first time on the air, I worked several different states, and Habana Cuba! I am using an Icom 718 and a loaded rain gutter at my apartment. All you really need to assemble the kit is a soldering iron and VOM meter, two things every ham should own. I would say that this kit is well within the skills of even a first-time kit builder. The kit went together in about an hour, and it worked the first time. You will have to build (or buy) cables for your particular transceiver. The only thing that isn't included are the cables and connectors that will go from the transceiver to the interface. The instructions are clear and precise, and all parts were included.

I just ordered this kit last week, and all I can say is that it works great! The kit arrived via USPS priority mail. Great job Unified Microsystems! I wish I would have tried this sooner. The RCA connections to the box are a win.

As successful as it was with 9 pin, I'm eager to see how it does with USB. I made several contacts with it and will look to see if I can make a new PTT cable that will work with USB off the DTR pin.

Everything was fantastic at the first key up. A quick consultation with the manual online yielded the information I would need. I had originally over thought the process thinking I would need more engineering than I did. I cobbled together the cables I would need to plug into the box, radio, and computer. I needed an interface to get my old Yaesu FT-620B on 6 meter digital, so I thought I would give the SCI-6 a try as it is designed to be a digital interface. The unit I have was already assembled, so I didn't have the kit building experience. While I have owned the unit for many years, I hadn't even messed with it until this weekend.
