USB interface simple, easy to wire up and set up. I can use PTT and FSK/CW signal in the same COM port using a virtual interface software (http://personales.ya.com/eb4fmt/Manuales/Puertos%20Com.pdf), as example for TS-2000X. RCAs connectors for soundcard are more secure. The price of the cables is only 20 euros and are very well finisheds with EMI cores in CAT cable and manufactured in China. HI HI.
I was pleasantly surprised by its smooth operation. Negative Point is that used with a TS-2000X CAT only supports max 19200 and IC-746 CAT only 9600 baud max (there is some signal filter I think). I switch rigs in operation with just changing the 25pin connector cables. I do not need to touch any jumper configuration!!
There is a video in youtube from Martin and Linch that show the interface.

Very pleased so far. I use it with HRD/Digimaster780 (Just updated to HRD version 5) with Icom 756 Pro111. Had a little bother 1st time running, as it stuck on TX as soon as HRD opened up. This was cured with a phone call to supplier Martin Lynch & Sons. RTS/DTR should have been un-ticked - I am no PC expert ! Can now do PSK31, RTTY, CW and various others from the lap top with auto logging. CW decoding not v good, but maybe A bit more familiarity will cure this. Otherwise I can't fault it. The CW problems mostly a feature of HRD.
