Ok so I just got an idea on how to make my FSK interface cleaner... I ended up with something very similar to the W3YY interface on my first attempt. You can see their interface here: http://www.w3yy.com/fsk.htm
Anyway I had a box and two cables coming out of it with a DB9 on one and a DB15 on the other (I didn't bother with the 3.5mm connector for CW as I use a K1EL for that)... Anyway I just came across one of these laying around in my office: http://www.ftdichip.com/Documents/DataSheets/Modules/DS_TTL-232R_PCB_V100.pdf They were giving these away to showcase their chip and get people to design them into products. I'm thinking I'm going to grab a USB cable that we have laying around and cut it. Then desolder the USB connector on this board and solder the cable into place there. Then solder some SMT optocouplers onto the pads on the end of the board and run wires up to a DB15. I should if I'm careful be able to fit the whole mess into the shell behind the DB15. Then one could have a K3 FSK adapter that just looks like a USB cable with a DB15 on one end. Well at least thats the goal and heck as simple as it all is I'm sure its going to work. I'll post pics when she's done. ~Brett (N7MG) ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:Elecraft@mailman.qth.net This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html
