Just dropped $50 for a cable and software (RT Systems) for a new Kenwood TM-V71A rig. Would like to do some computer programming of an older FT1900 Yaesu but don't want to invest upwards of $25 more to do so. Has anyone ever made their own, or came up with a way to use adapters or another cable to work with the Yaesu? The connection on the Yaesu looks pretty simple and straight forward, just need to see what I can use for the USB portion, or, could an older computer with the serial connector if that would be more practical.
Thanks!
