> Hello,

> In general I use CW for ragchewing and casual DX operation. Also, my main
> radio of early 1980 vintage predates computer - radio connection. However,
> for the past few years I have been enjoying operating in a few contests in
> the QRP category using an FT-817 and, as I have gotten better, the need for a
> better logging system than paper and pencil with post contest transfer to SD
> has become very obvious to me. Consequently, I would like to use SD for
> logging during a contest with some measure of connectivity between the
> computer and the FT-817 so that band and mode changes would be recorded and
> also so that I can send messages at the touch of a button.
>
> When I look in my reference books and on the internet I find so many
> different pieces of equipment for sale and circuits that provide rig to PC
> connections that I feel confused about what I actually need to operate SD
> with an FT-817. I would really appreciate any suggestions as to how to make
> a simple interface between an FT-817 and a PC that would allow me to
> experiment with SD. I have an older computer that has both a serial and a
> parallel port as well as USB connectors and I would prefer to make my own
> interface rather than just buying one.

> Thank you for any suggestions you may have.
