The Digirig Mobile Cables set is meticulously designed to provide amateur radio enthusiasts with an exceptional means of connecting their Yaesu FT series transceivers to computers. Specifically compatible with models such as the FT-100, FT-817, FT-857, FT-897, FT-817ND, and FT-897D, these cables ensure seamless integration for digital modes of communication, transforming personal computing devices into powerful amateur radio stations. With a focus on ease of use and reliability, these cables stand out as indispensable tools for both portable and home setups.
At the heart of the Digirig Mobile Cables is a dual-cable system, comprising one Mini Din-8 serial CAT cable and an additional Audio + PTT (Push-to-Talk) Mini Din-6 cable. This well-thought-out design enables comprehensive communication between the transceiver and external devices while also facilitating essential audio signal processing. These cables feature a coiled design that enhances practicality, preventing knots and kinks, thus promoting tidiness within any amateur radio setup. When relaxed, the cables boast a length of approximately 24 inches, extending fully to an impressive 72 inches when stretched.
With premium quality materials and craftsmanship, these cables ensure a robust performance essential for the demands of amateur radio communication. The shielded design features RF choked ferrite beads on both ends, minimizing radio frequency interference (RFI) that often plagues digital communications. These characteristics not only improve signal integrity but also enhance the overall user experience, making the operational tasks at hand—such as digital modes like FT8 and FT4—more reliable and enjoyable.
Setting up the Digirig Mobile Cables is a straightforward process, particularly beneficial for users who are frequently on the move. The cables are specifically engineered for compatibility with Digirig interface revision 1.6 or later, incorporating TRRS connections for enhanced functionality. For users of previous revisions who require TRS connections, the option to customize the order ensures compatibility without compromising performance. Comprehensive build instructions are available on the Digirig website, making the assembly straightforward for even novice users.
