Now download and fire up the latest copy of Ham Radio Deluxe. After installing the driver for the cable, the laptop did see an extra com-port. Fred did already bought a cable for rig control. So these two things I want to help him with. He did connect the rig via the Signalink to his laptop, but didn’t yet use rig control (Cat-V).

Actually this combination works really well! He is doing great in QSO’s! The only thing missing was a good logbook. Since a few months he bought a Signalink USB and works all different digital modes with it. If you need to walk through anything else, just let me know via PM or qrz.com address.Last weekend I offered a friend of mine, Fred PA3YH, some help with his shack setup. Anyway, separating the audio and digital grounds solved the issue and I've been running FB with it since. Like I mentioned, this was a couple of years or so ago and I don't exactly recall what happened when I built it per spec, but the config didn't work probably some sort of RFI issue.

The one thing that I had to do to my cable to make it work correctly was to NOT connect the audio ground to the digital ground in the cable (Nav connector end).
