They say that you can't lose somthing that you don't have, but I am living proof to the contrary. I am losing my mind. It shouldn't take long, there isn't much of it. I have a Yaesu FRG-100 and I downloaded free software for it, but it only works on the CAT interface. I don't have the cable. I have the Icom R-75 and I downloaded shareware software for it that works with the serial interface on the radio (RX Plus), but it has expired. Nice stuff, I want to purchase, but the ability of the software to function is based on the "Register to" name for my computer, which is a long series of numbers, as I bought this laptop from Gateway. Not really a problem, unless I need to reload Windows and the "Registered to" name changes. Then the software won't work. I would be out $80. I downloaded a freeware program for the Icom R-75, looks impressive, Ham Radio Deluxe, but it only works with the CAT interface. I don't have the cable. I am looking for scanner software for my Uniden 785D, I found a nice site, looks like good software, I think that I tried the trialware version of it in the past. (When I had a different computer). The site says that it won't work with USB to Serial converters, that the computer must have a serial port, and I don't have one. Why is there such difficulty in supporting USB to Serial converters? Why the fetish with the CAT interface on the Icom R-75 when it has a serial port? Is there any reasonably priced software for the Icom R-75 and the Uniden 785D that would work with the Computer's USB to Serial interface and the Radio's serial ports? Thanks. Dr. Artaud This may be of help. It's not that complicated and could be put together in a short time. If you build two, the time taken for each will be greatly reduced. A small preprinted project board could replace the printed circuit board. http://www.min.at/OE1RIB/CAT/Default.htm The printed circuit board resembles the solderless one pictured here, at least for shape and size. http://members.axion.net/~rduff/rcxprototype.jpg You would stick the components through the holes and solder. this plastic board allows you to transfer the components directly from the prototyping board shown above. It has the same connections/routes as the spring loaded solderless version shown above. mike |

This looks like what the board should be: Available at fine electronics outlets everywhere. Part number 22-508___________________$8.95 http://demarelectronics.com/prototyping_boards.htm mike |
