FTDI USB Cat control & programming cable for TenTec transceivers

Thousands of cables sold worldwide!

By popular request - we proudly introduce a premium grade FTDI version of our CAT cable for these magnificent radios.

Length approx 1.7m/5ft 6ins (if required, you can add a USB extension cable up to 5m long).

This handy cable allows control of your TenTec transceiver by your computer.

Suitable for Jupiter, Argonaut V, Orion, Orion II, Pegasus and Omni VII

For example, you can use remote control software like Ham Radio Deluxe or edit and backup your memory channels easily. Contest and logging software can fetch your operating frequency and mode direct from the radio. If you are working satellites, your computer can automatically track your transmit and receive frequencies and compensate for doppler shift. Some models also allow you to update the transceivers firmware.

One end of the cable has a DB9 male which connects to the COM socket on the radio. The other end has a USB plug which connects to the PC's USB port. The cable contains a USB to serial converter, so the radio appears as a COM port on the PC.

This cable uses the highly regarded FTDI FT232RL chip which works with all current versions of Windows, MacOS, Android and Linux.

Please note that a CAT cable is not an audio interface for datamodes.

Fair postage. Proof of posting obtained for all shipments. No packing charges. Orders received before 3 p.m. are normally posted on the same day (Mon-Fri).

Money back guarantee. If you are unhappy with your cable in any way, simply return it within 60 days for a refund.
