  Kenwood Cat Interface

I recently purchased the Kenwood interface for my R5000 and have to recommend the product completely.

The cable itself is very well made, of high quality materials and worked flawlessly from the start.

Delivery was VERY fast, I think 24 hours from initial order.

Many thanks Neil for a first rate product, and excellent customer service

  I recently started using Logger 32 and I was getting tired of manually entering my QSO frequency and mode data...everything else is automated, why not that too?

I am not a person to spend a lot of money on something that I can easily make myself and I am a stickler for quality. I wanted a simple serial interface to my Kenwood TS-850S and I came across this interface (the IF-232 replacement cable). The cable came quickly given where it was shipped from and I had Logger 32 communicating with my radio in about 5 minutes.

I used the suggested parameters in the Logger 32 help file and at first it wasn't working. I found with this interface that I had to set RTS high and everything worked from there.

In terms of quality this item is very well made and the circuit is encased in the serial connector...I'm impressed and the price was reasonable. Keep up the good work...Thanks!

  Buy one of these! NOW!

I purchased the Kenwood interface and found it in my mailbox six days after ordering it! Shipped half way around the world, like it was next door. It took all of 3 minutes to have my TS-440S talking to the computer with Logger32 ( and 2 of those minutes were looking for a DB-25 to DB-9 adapter that I had stored away). In five more minutes I had the TS-440S talking to N1MM logger. I'm very happy with the complete transaction and urge anyone needing to interface their radio to a computer to purchase the product from G4ZLP.

73, Rick, W6RKC

  I just received my CAT interface for use in a TS-850SAT that I recently acquired and restored. I have been a license ham operator continously since 1963. Neil is among a small handful of vendors who supplied me an excellent product, at a fair price, quickly shipped, and with great customer tech support. His Kenwood CAT interface worked perfectly out of the package with my MLOG software. Neil's product is the best example of a plug and play amateur radio product. I will most likely "abandon" my overpriced ICOM CT-17 interface and purchase Neil's ICOM CAT interface. 73 de Ed, N3US, Norman, OK USA

  I am very pleased with the excellent service provided by your establishment. I purchased the Kenwood CAT Interface online on Sunday April 29th and received it on Thursday May 3rd. Pretty impressive. I installed the interface and it worked perfectly without doing anything but tell Ham Radio Deluxe to connect to the radio. I am very pleased and satisfied and will consider purchasing from your company in the future. Thank you, best 73’s and good DX.

  Got the cable for the Kenwood R5000, preferred this over other designs as I don't need a separate 12v supply. Works great, packaged well.

  What a great product, works great with my TS-850. A mate saw mine working with HRD and asked me to buy him one too. HRD is fantastic. The cable also works with WISPdde for satellite control from Orbitron.
Bloody Marvelous !

  I ordered A KENWOOD RS232 CAT CABLE for my KENWOOD TS570, came within 3 days, but due to a misunderstanding on my part.

I took a VIDEO/ MONITOR PORT for being a SERIAL PORT, so ordered USB TO SERIAL PORT RS232 INTERFACE, arrived next day.

Result HAM RADIO DELUX WORKING.

Great Produts at A Fair Price, Excellent Service, what more can I say.

  Kenwood CAT. I ordered one of these for my TS-450SAT, not knowing what to expect. Boy, was I pleasantly surprised by the ease of setup and how good it works. The quality of the cable and plugs is first rate. Setup is simply plug and play. Shipping from the U.K. to Oregon was extremly fast. Only took 6 days. Worked so good I bought another one for my FT-840. This one also arrived in 6 days and worked right off the bat. Used it with N1MM Logger, MixW, and Ham Radio Deluxe and it works very well with either program.
This is an inexpensive and great way to hook up your radio to a computer. Neil is also very fast to answer any emails or questions. A+ all the way. 73 Tom W7WHY
