Ham Radio Prog / Control Cables
It all started when I need to program my I-COM M710 Marine SSB/HAM HF rig. I would like to play with WinMOR and soundcard modem and some of the digital modes.I searched the Internet and found most people were making ( 8 years ago) clones of the ICOM interface OPC-478.
So I first made clone cable like the CI-V cable with dual 2N2222s, a diode, some resisters and a DB9 connector. It needed to be plugged into my current laptop with a USB-serial adapter/emulator. It failed. I must have put a transistor in backwards or something. Then I found the ICOM software. The software for cloning and configuring the M710 seems to be EX1726.exe for DOS. It does direct manipulation of the serial port register so a PC with an real DB9 serial port running DOS, not Windows, would be required. I do not have these.
I kept searching and here it is how to make a clone cable from a USB-TTL adapter, commonly used to program Arduinos, and a phone plug.

connect tip of mono phone plug to Rx and Tx soldered
together and ring to ground of a USB to TTL serial adapter. I used a
PL2303 based 5 pin adapter.
For Kenwood
Use FTDI chip and invert Tx Rx
