I built my current interface into a small Bud box. I mounted 2 db15hd connectors (1 male, 1 female) on one side of the box, wired straight through via the pc board (a standard breadboard type) and the db9 for the fsk/ptt on the other side. Now I see where I messed up. Since I will be adding another circuit to it for SO2V RTTY operation I will parallel an additional 2 or 3 db15hd connectors so that I can do away with the rats nest of Y-connectors and just connect cables to my own break-out box. Life is a learning process.
