You will need to establish a way to get the received signal from your rig to the line in of your computer's soundcard. To transmit, you will also need to get the tones created by the software OUT from the PC and in to the rig for transmission. To achive this, check the circuit at http://www.k6xx.com/ft817/817afsk.gif or http://www.min.at/prinz/oe1rib/CAT/SoundCard.htm If you do not want to make your own cables and interface, you can buy an inteface and cables from many different sources. Here is one example ( http://home.att.net/~n8st/yaesu.html ) Donner's Digital Interface Sales P. O. Box 158 505 E. Main St. Hamersville OH 45130 Telephone: 937-379-2517 e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] DIG-TXRX Digital Modes TX-RX Interface model: YAESU FT-817 (6 pin Mini DIN) 40.00 40.00 Total (not including shipping charges and taxes) $ 40.00 Good luck, Andy K3UK
