having only been licenced for just over 2 years and previously dabbled into psk i bought a data interface from another guy in uk who made them and it didnt work at all/cw/rtty/psk/sstv etc..johnny was recommended by my mate owen in peterlee who as an m3 was experienced fully in psk.
phoned johnny up whilst out shopping and asked him to put me one together(PLEASE) for a ft920 from yaesu,
expecting johnny to say that it wud be ready tomorrow /sunday/it was ready and waiting for pick up in 2 hours.where else can u get service like that?the interface worked straight away and while the 920 only shows that "data lsb"is in effect,psk is "sideband invisible".JOHNNY TAUGHT ME THAT!!.cracking gentleman,wicked sense of humour,very able to teach us yung un,s hi and highly recommended is johnny g3liv!tried other products but johnnys is by far the bees knees.tnx fer info and helpful advice johhny..will recommend you no problemo.keith 2e0jkd,"IT DOES EXACTLY AS IT SAYS ON THE TIN"!!NICE TO MEET A REAL GENT ALSO

Excellent Quality & Service Time Owned: 0 to 3 months.
I purchased the Isoterm Multicon Dual Deluxe after reading many reviews of both this item and others on eHam.

Superb is about the only word that effectively describes both the interface and also Johnny's willingness and speed in answering emailed questions. He also has a great sense of humour!

The interface arrived 8 days after purchase ( was caught in the pre Xmas international mailing frenzy!). It was very well packaged and the package contained not only the unit and appropriate cables, but also a comprehensive detailed (idiot proof) set up instruction sheet, an up to date software CD with many useful programs relative to Digital modes AND a screwdriver for adjusting the receive and LCD level pots.

Johnny definitely 'thinks outside the square' and puts every effort into quality and customer satisfaction. Larger Companies have a lot to learn from this man who obviously puts his customers and product quality FIRST.

I have absolutely no hesitation in recommending this product to any Ham who is looking for a first class interface and a great person to deal with. You simply can not do better than dealing with Johnny!

Would I deal with PSK31 Isoterm again? Absolutely, without a second thought!

Ecellent usb interface Time Owned: 6 to 12 months.
I bought 2 interfaces. I use one at my seaside flat with IC775 and the other one works with my IC-7800 in Turin.
They are top quality and I'm completely satisfied with them, better than 2 other different interfaces usb and RS232 that I used before.
The technical support and kind help that i received fromm Johnny G3LIV was great.
I tried also with IC 706 and IC-7000 and it was perfect.

Great With Several Applications Time Owned: more than 12 months.
I have had several interfaces from Johnny (G3LIV) and have used them on several different applications. First one was to run PSK, SSTV and RTTY from the sound card to the Kenwood TS-870S though the accessory socket. All work absolutely fine. Bought another one for when I go to a Special Event Station to save digging everything out. No problems with that. Then started to try WSJT441 so bought a Dual Isoterm so with a flick of a switch could change between two transceivers (TS-870S and TR-751E). The spare HF one was re wired and now connected to the Internet Gateway running Echolink (ICOM IC-208). Things are still moving on, as I required an interface to transmit some data on a handheld (Kenwood TH-D7E). Got in contact with Johnny and a few days later another one arrived. This has been tested and is working fine. So, I am very pleased with the interfaces. They do precisely what I require. Well-constructed quality product.

Excellent Service & Quality product Time Owned: 0 to 3 months.
I had been looking for an interface for a while which could handle the switching between two radios
(without having to disconnect and reconnect leads all the time) and i came across Johnny's web site.
I contacted Johnny via e-mail one Saturday afternoon with some questions and to my surprise i received
an answer within the hour. After a few more e-mails i decided to go ahead and purchase the DELUXE DUAL .
Payment was easy via pay-pal and received an e-mail from Johnny stating that he had received payment and
the interface would be with me Thursday. Tuesday morning it turns up (2 days early) packed well. Hooked
everything up and worked a dream , flick of a switch from one radio to the
other , no fuss , no problem , no RF , just a pleasure to use and set up.
All in all FIRST CLASS.

An excellent product, and unbelievable customer service! Time Owned: 0 to 3 months.
I have previously owned 2 other data interfaces, one that I home brewed as a club project, and the Tigertronics SL-1+. I wanted to be able to use my computer with the appropriate software as a voice keyer for contests etc.

For some reason neither of my interfaces wanted to work for this purpose.

I emailed Johnny and described what I wanted to do, and enquired if his unit would be ok.

He told me that he was not sure, as no one had previously had the same request.

He immediately offered me a unit to try, with the option to return if it didn't fulfil the task.

I have NEVER in my lifetime met anyone of the same calibre as this man.

He is a very trusting, extremely helpful individual.

I felt like royalty when I spoke to Johnny, and thanks to him I now have an interface that does everything I require.

The unit itself is of extremely good construction.

It is hard to believe that is not a product from a much larger commercial outlet.

It does everything it says on the tin AND more!

Cheers to Johnny, G3LIV!
