[CQ-Contest] DX Doubler and cabling with FT5000/3000?

[Kelly Taylor]

If you have the DXD working with a computer and a Yaesu radio now, it should work fine as is: I’m relatively confident Yaesu has been consistent with the microphone pin-outs.

But if your computer, as with many modern computers, lacks an LPT port, you’ll need an LPT emulator such as the SO2Rxlat from Piexx. It’s a USB to LPT translator.

Top Ten specifies the SO2Rxlat as a suitable interface.
