Well, it's a lil' bit more than this. You will also need to have (can also
buy at Radio Shack or a parts store) an LPT printer port connector plus
shielded cable (sufficient length to reach from your computer to the radio)
plus a 1/4" key plug. Be careful when soldering the transistor and resistor
to the LPT connector so as to not short out any of the pins. Also don't
overheat the transistor. A small alligator clip on the lead being soldered
will protect it from the heat of the soldering iron.
I am offering this advice since you mentioned that you were an operator and
not a homebrewer.

A 30 cent transistor from radio shack and a 10 cent resistor are all you need.
