Works Well Time Owned: 0 to 3 months.
I agree with what others have already said. Bought one for my Yaesu FT 900. Simple to hook up, works great with MixW 2.15. I couldn't have built one myself for the price. Keep up the good work for us "technically challenged" hams!

simple and works great Time Owned: 3 to 6 months.
i have had mine around 3 months it is a simple device using high grade compomant's i dont beleave you could build one these for the cost they sell them for. and they sure dont make money on there shipping cost either. very simple instructions written in laymen terms. fast service. and they answer emailed questions fast. hmmmm maybe some other manufacter's need to hear that one.

ok here the scoop great gizmo for the job. great folks that make and sell this gizmo. i would definatly buy another one yes any day of the week.

only gripe is wish the had a cd with some programs allready on it. but hey for the price i guess youll just have to download them. jeff/n3jbh

A great, inexpensive interface. Time Owned: 0 to 3 months.
For the price, this is a great little device. It's well made, it is truly plug and use, it was shipped promptly and I wouldn't hesitate to buy one again.

Quick shipping, a reasonable price, and ease and reliability! That's why I purchased this interface. Simple and easy to install. Thanks Carolyn!

PLUG AND PLAY ! Time Owned: 0 to 3 months.
Being new to digital and having been inactive from radio for several years, I needed an interface that was simple, inexpensive, and effective. I read the very impressive reviews here on e-ham and decided to give the Donner interface a shot. I ordered it on Monday and received it on Thursday. I followed the directions they provided for hookup and found that because they make their interfaces to fit a specific rig that all I had to do was plug in a few connectors and I was off and running. I downlosded Digipan software and am in the process of learning all of the neat things that Digipan will do. I have had many contacts allready using athe Donner interface and have had nothing but good luck. I plan to buy one for my other HF rig and it will aloso be a Donner's. I recommend them for a quality product that works.

Works fantasic!! Time Owned: 0 to 3 months.
Ordered my interface for the Icom IC-737 and was true plug and play. Now I am working all kinds of digital stuff including the new digital voice mode!!! A plus I noticed too was that donner the line in from the radio is isolated via a isolation transformer. Rigblaster does'nt even do that on their M8 interface. Nice touch.

Outstanding ! Time Owned: 0 to 3 months.
I give them a five only because the system will not allow a ten (10).

Phone ordering was a pleasure, super fast service, plug and play as advertised.

I had one question which was addressed upon my phone call. I was never placed on hold or given wrong information.

I would buy this interface again.

This interface is much cheaper and much better constructed than others I have used.

Great Product, Easy to Use Time Owned: 0 to 3 months.
Very nice product with quick set-up. Carolyn was very nice to work with and answered all my questions at Donner. Fast shipment allowed me to get on the air just a few days after I placed the order. Using with IC-746 and does not lock up the transmitter as the "B.C." unit did. Great customer service as compared to "B.C.". 73, from Coastal Georgia!

Terrific Support!! Time Owned: 0 to 3 months.
I bought my first digital interface from Donner's and when I got it, I couldn't get any output. I called Gary and he was more than helpful. Even offered to refund my money even if it turned out MY equipment was at fault.
Well after Gary's help, it turned out I had a bad sound card (no output) I bought a new one, put it in and PRESTO! I was on the air. First QSO was with a Puerto Rican station. "59"
Bottom line here is don't spend the big bucks unless you want to run digital with multiple radios. If you're going to use one radio, then go with Donner's....The Best!!!
