Hello all!
I don't know the attitude or personality of this group but I hope it
is more amateur radio than computers.
I got notified by one of the groups "internet police" but I have been
reading the comments and they have been helpful.
Looks like we should come out with a $5.00 version, we could throw an
isolation transformer and some resistors in a envelope. Of course that
version you would have to cut your microphone off the cord and solder
the parts in between and hook up your sound card. You couldn't talk
on your radio anymore but your computer's audio would be hooked up.
Just kidding.......hi,hi.
We could make a RIGblaster BASIC with just a PCB and all the parts
for ground isolation and serial PTT control; but no cables, box
or connectors. It would probably sell for $12 in kit form and we
will probably make one.
The ham community seems to be spending more time talking about and
using computers than radios, something I am not happy about. My boss
N1ZZ and I thought it might be good to make a product that connects
them together. Since parts are hard to get and most hams can't solder
anymore we thought it should be easy to hook up and universal.
The RIGblaster took 3 man months to design and get to market an it
has more than 60 parts. The parts include 2 high grade mini toggle
switches, 2 DPDT relays, 9 connectors, 1 optoisolator, a painted and
silkscreened .062" aluminum case, a 12 volt wall supply, a double
sided plated through, FR4 board, a CD with most of the sound card
software downloads and info, not to mention US assembly time packing
and QST advertizing....the list goes on. It wasn't designed to be
cheap but it is supposed to be high quality and convienent.
I just got the web page up and I haven't had time to put a technical
description or product detail on the page yet.
I hope that it gets more people on the air with their computers.

Subject: Problem with D700A - am I missing something?
The cable I have is a
Belkin 10' Direct Cable Connection
PC to PC File Transfer
DB9 Female/Female
Serial
Is this not the right cable? Perhaps I misnamed it calling it a null modem
cable. It looks similar to the null modem cable that came with laplink.
It appears to be a straight through DB9 female <-> DB9 female cable. The
pin numbers are the same on both ends. I don't see why this wouldn't work.

The pin numbers are based on physical location of the pin inside the connector
shell, they have nothing to do with the electrical connection of the pins.
It sounds like you have a cable intended to connect one PC serial to another
PC serial port for the sake of file transfer, in which case I strongly suspect
there are some wires crossed over inside the cable, not "straight through".

That sounds like exactly the problem. I just checked www.pin-outs.com and
you are correct. Pins, 2-3, 4-6, 7-8 are reversed. I won't have time to
stop by my local Altex since it's on the other side of town. I think I'll
run by CompUSA and purchase a DB25 male-male straight through (which I know
