The cable is quite simple to construct. I connected only the ground,
TX, and RX lines to the appropriate pins, plus wiring a couple of
jumpers in the plugs. I used shielded, two-conductor cable and carried
the ground on the shield, along with metalized plastic DB-9 and DB-25
plugs. Soldering to the pins is easy, and making the cable is easier
than troubleshooting a commercial cable. All required parts are
available from Radio Shack.

I wanted only control of the VFO, memories, filter selections, and so
on. I was not looking for PTT control or voice/CW/digital keying. If
you want those, then there are other control lines and interfaces to
be constructed, of course.
