I built a box with lots on RCA jacks and got the 13P DIN breakout cable from
MFJ. Add a couple of switches and be all set. Using the MFJ cable saves from
having to solder pins on the high density 13 P DIN connector.
LDG also sells a breakout box.

I must respectfully disagree. A contester who calls CQ Contest is usually
doing it on a frequency that is clear at the moment (at least at his

You don't seem able to make room for everyone.
So, I'll sign out of all the WSPR and WSJT modes and will not recognise

Just a point... I don't believe the HF automatic sub bands are internationally

To my knowledge it is only the FCC in the US that has set up these automatic
