[amsat-bb] Re: FT 897D Freq Control and Data

[Erik Jacobsen]

I am using the Rig Blaster Plug and Play to connect to the data and the cat
interface.  The Plug and Play connects to your USB interface and simulates a
com port.  Then you connect the cat interface to the rig blaster using the
optional cable.  All in all its a $110 investment.
