6 PIN DATA JACK
- Thread starter doctor
- Start date
You have a few options on how to accomplish this. You can always homebrew one yourself, but it's simpler/easier to just purchase one if you don't feel like taking the homebrew route.
What you want is an interface that gives you both soundcard and rig control from your PC.
The least expensive commercially available product that I'm aware of is the BuxComm Rascal Interface. The RMDIN model is the one you want for that radio. Here's a link where you can order it for about $80: RMDIN <br> RASCAL to all Radios with 6 pin Mini DIN Data jacks..More Info> RASCAL to all Radios with 6 pin Mini DIN Data jacks [RMDIN] - $71.96 : Zen Cart!, The Art of E-commerce
Other manufactures that make similar products are Rigblaster, RigExpert, MFJ, and Signalink. These other types of interfaces offer various features that you should look at and compare to the simple BuxComm interface. In my opinion, most people don't need these more expensive interfaces to do rig programming and soundcard modes. However, there are specific use cases that may warrant the expense.
Hope that helps.

i have to agree, i have 3 different BUXCOM units. all of them work properly. and he will provide the CORRECT drivers for the USB plug.
you can pay more and get other features if you need them, but these inexpensive units work for me. get a kit or one pre asssembled, it;s up to you/your wallet.
some people say they have no luck with buxx service, i've never had any problems with them.
btw , IMO, the DATA jack is the best way to go, it pre-sets the levels from the rig so you can turn the speaker volume up/down and not affect the soundcard input level.

I made my own interface to use with my 706MIIG, the first was with the data jack but I did not have any luck with it; the signal out is influenced by a squelch signal.
I used a RJ-45 plug to make my second one and connected it into the aux. mic plug. It is controlled by the volume control as well as the Mic Gain.
