SB-2000 Cable Set Icom/Kenwood/Yaesu

SB-2000 Mk2: Soundcard and CAT Interface with USB control
The SB-2000 Mk2 is a inexpensive transceiver interface with USB connector (USB 1.1 and USB 2.0 full speed are supported). There is no need for a legacy serial or parallel port on your computer. The interface contains a CAT interface for transceiver control incl. PTT, FSK an CW keying, as well as a soundcard interface for digital modes like RTTY, PSK32, SSTV, FAX etc. (using the soundcard of your computer).

The new 'Mk2' version of the SB-2000 interface now supports two virtual serial ports! This is very useful since not all computer programs can support mixed functions like PTT and CW keying plus CAT on the same serial port. With the new version you have two virtual serial ports, one for PTT and CW/FSK, and another port for CAT control.

All signals are insulated optically or by transformers. Power supply is done over the USB line from the computer. Included in shipment is a CD with USB drivers for Windows 2000, XP, Vista and WIn7. MacOS X and Linux are supported directly and do not require driver installation. Size 130x75x45mm.

The separately sold cable sets include all cables necessary for all connections (CAT and data to radio, USB and Audio to computer). The SB-2000 Mk2 includes a level converter from RS-232 to USB, allowing the use of radios with RS-232 interface (FT-1000, FT-2000, FT-450, FT-950 etc.). The connection to the radio is done with a multi cable which also includes the CW keying signal. The CAT interface works up to a max. speed of 19200 Baud.
