Allows you to decode CW, RTTY, PSK31, SSTV, FAX, etc without the need for an external accessory box (rig blaster, etc).

RX volume is taken from the radio at a fixed level* - so it is not affected by your front panel volume control.
(*not on TS-570 and 2000, that is tied to the speaker and varies with AF gain, see my other listing fr the 13 pin version).

The cable is shielded, 6 feet long and has an isolation circuit to decouple your radio and the computer.

Works great, I've used this for years in the ARRL DX CW Contest - I can copy the code but can't write it down at the same time!  I use this cable and software for that! I use mostly DXSoft software available free at their website.  Like CWGet, its a very good program!!

CW, RTTY, SSTV, FAX and PSK Software is available online, do a google search.

Remote receiver listening can be done thru the internet with this cable - Windows Media Encoder by Microsoft will port your receiver's audio on the net so you can listen at work.
