Hi All,

I'm thinking of using a KXUSB cable for CAT control of an FT-817ND. The 817 apparently cannot use RS232 straight from a computer (as the K2 couldn't as I recall) and requires a level converter. However, I have a handful of KXUSB cables now and was wondering if using one with my 817 will be as simple as making an adapter to go from the 3.5mm plug to the 8-pin mini-DIN that plugs into the 817.

So, long story short; can I go straight from a KXUSB to an FT-817 without a level converter or do I need to add one inline. I'd prefer not to find out the hard way! :-)

Many thanks,

Ken Alexander
