Great interface for all ytou need Time Owned: more than 12 months.
I've purchased TI-8 interface almost an year ago and used with my IC-9100 and now with IC-7300 transceiver. Easy to setup, easy to use, basically plug and play. Download Rig Expert software and follow simple steps to setup. Software creates a virtual serial ports, you can specify any COM ports you want. I used interface for digital modes, CW and CAT interface. Works as should. It was very easy to build own interface cable. If you decide to make your own, please use shielded cables and ferrite clamps. The instruction and recommended schematic diagram listed on Rig Expert website. Team is great and always responds in time if you have any questions. TI-8 interface has built-in sound interface card which can be used for digital modes and it's use same USB port. Another words to say - it's an universal interface that always will find a right place in your radio shack. 73!

Excellent! Time Owned: more than 12 months.
This interface worked great with my Icom 7600 and Yaesu FTDX5000. No issues whatsoever. Does CW, RTTY, FT8, etc without any problems. Just download the manual and software from RigExpert and away you go! 5 stars.

Great Product Time Owned: 0 to 3 months.
I recently purchased the Ti-8. It is nicely built and works just great with my IC-7600. It has a built in winkeyer and FSK. The setup program is very nice and allows one to easily manage comports. Too bad windows dosen't have such an excellent manager. I was on the air with FT8 in about 10 min. The Icom specific cable that I received appears to be made of quality components.

Update Time Owned: 0 to 3 months.
The TI-8 is working great on all modes with MixW3 and the IC756PRO, even FSK. The receive has less digital noise on the waterfall than the SignaLink-USB which it replaced. Windows 10 did an update and rebooted yesterday and the TI-8 and all drivers came back up and worked normally. I edited the MixW3 bands.ini file so that MixW3 automatically switches the radio to RTTY mode (FSK) when RTTY is selected in MixW3.
