You'll be sorry... Time Owned: 0 to 3 months.
If you pay more than the cost of this fantastic product! I ordered it via eBay, received it in a timely manner, plugged it into my IC7000, loaded HRD, and it just worked great! Even worked with two different types of usb-rs232 adapters without a hitch. Tried it with HRD running in a WINXP VM under Parallels on a Mac via a USB-232 adapter without any problems. Don't even think about it - just order it!

Thanks, Neil for a great product!!

Works as It Should! Time Owned: 3 to 6 months.
I have four of the ZLP interfaces for 3 different Brand radios, Kenwood TS-480HX, Yaesu FT-897D, FT-1000D and a Icom IC-746. All of them work perfect the first time. I do not understand why anyone would give less than a 5 for a problem with there set-up or the computer they used is not good enough! Please know that with this product as with anything with computer interface YOU must have the setting correct or have a good enough computer. If you have a computer that does not have enough power use a Powered serial to USB adapter and Plug it into a POWERED USB HUB, it will work! These interfaces work the first time IF you have your part of the hook up done correctly. I highly recommend them! 73's

Super Quality & Super Service Time Owned: 0 to 3 months.
I purchased a CT-62 compatible cable for my Yaesu FT-897. The cable was shipped and delivered from the UK to California in 5 days! The cable is extremely well made and a real bargain. Even with the shipping charges it is still 25-30% less costly than standard CT62 cables. A ZLP cable, Ham Radio Deluxe and an FT-897: not a bad package!

Outstanding Service Time Owned: more than 12 months.
I ordered a CAT interface for my FT-817 Wednesday, and received it the following Monday! Not bad considering from the UK to the US! The interface is made well. I hooked it up and had it running with Ham Radio Deluxe and FT Commander. The cost of the CAT interface (CT62)with shipping was around $24. It is by far the cheapest I have found. I have purchased CAT interfaces as well as digital interfaces from him before. I would recommend ZLP interfaces to anybody!

Not a fault to be found! Time Owned: more than 12 months.
I've got both a CAT and an Audio interface from G4ZLP, the aido serial interface is customised so that it takes the keying signal from the same port being used for CAT control, all designed by Neil at no extra cost.

Both interfaces in use daily with Ham Radio Deluxe and datamodes.

Workmanship/quality is first class.

Great Product with a Great Price! Time Owned: 0 to 3 months.
I ordered the ICOM CAT CI-V for the Ham Radio Deluxe computer software to control my first generation ICOM 706. Out of the box, the interface cable performed flawlessly. The RS-232 housing was superior to those other housings I have purchased from those ahem other companies. The email support I had from Neil was fantastic and very prompt (within 2 minutes time lapse).

For all those digital hams looking for a true quality interface cable to control your rig via computer look no further!

2nd order, MUCH faster this time + help with mod Time Owned: 0 to 3 months.
This follow up is to report a perfect transaction - The cable was shipped on a tuesday and I got it the next monday. Perfect!

I also had a question for Neil about modifying the CAT cable to provide a key line for my amp. Neil was quick and help full. It was not to hard to attach the key line inside the 8 pin mini din connector and I even managed to thread it through the boot for a nice look.

For those of you using FT-897's or FT-857's and needing BOTH cat control and to control a linear at the same time, this company's product fits the bill!

Fast shipping and great product Time Owned: 3 to 6 months.
I ordered one of these for my TS-450SAT, not knowing what to expect. Boy, was I pleasantly surprised by the ease of setup and how good it works. The quality of the cable and plugs is first rate. Setup is simply plug and play. Shipping from the U.K. to Oregon was extremly fast. Only took 6 days. Worked so good I bought another one for my FT-840. This one also arrived in 6 days and worked right off the bat. Used it with N1MM Logger, MixW, and Ham Radio Deluxe and it works very well with either program.

This is an inexpensive and great way to hook up your radio to a computer. Neil is also very fast to answer any emails or questions. A+ all the way. 73

Very Neat Time Owned: 6 to 12 months.
Cable is very neat solution, sufficiently inexpensive that it was not worth making one.

Neil despatched it swiftly and it works fine with both my Yaesu FT-1000D and my FT-990, (I had to add a single resistor due to my 990 being an early one.)

Nicer solution than the external powered interfaces... very pleased.
