Julius, I did not have Interface II. I have chosen Microkeyer II instead because it has got built in sound card and Winkeyer. I use both. I originally ordered the cable for IC7000 and then built my own cable for K3. Anyway please note that it is pretty difficult to make the cable of such a quality that Microham supplies. All the schematics for all the cable is available from MicroHam. In Microkeyer it is not enough to change connectors. You have to set jumpers inside DB37 in the correct way. I suspect it should be similar with Interface II. These jumpers basically tell the device what radio you are going to connect. Different radios have different CAT specs and set of commands.
