FWIW the router is really just a service - and the driver runs as a service 
anyway (all drivers do). I think the microHam solution is actually rather 
good.

I'm using it for HRD (CAT) and DM780 (soundcard) on 6m. When the 6m season 
is over I'll probably run it on 30m / 17m.

Actually I think Simon has been an advocate of the microham/microkeyer
for a while. Certainly I found out about them through his HRD pages and
a recommendation when the 897 first came out. Was my first CAT interface.

I'm not as keen on having to run the router software as a separate
process lately, and now use a simple cat only cable for ALE work with
Kenwood/Yaesu's. But if you need some of the unique features, I like the
micro* products. A good friend uses them even for dxpedition work.

Have fun,

Yes, it's using the microHam router and I sent Jozef a suggestion for making 
the installation simpler.

I understand what he's doing, for those of us who just want a COM port for 
CAT control the installation guide could be a bit simpler.

I'm not sure about idiot proof, does it use the Microham device router
with audio switching?  If so, that always confuses me.  However, good
to see you join the Microham "club", I used the Microkeyer...one of my
best  ever ham investments .

[digitalradio] microHam USB Interface III

Hi All,

I would like to give a big thumbs-up to the microHam USB Interface III - I've 
just set it up with my TS-480SAT, DELL M1330 laptop and HRD software for 6m 
digital operation. The microHam is idiot-proof and working nicely.

It was a pleasure to meet Jozef from microHam at the Friedrichshafen show 
yesterday.

Now for some serious dog-walking...
