Timewave’s new HamLinkUSB™ Rig Controller Plus is a USB to logic level conversion device for CAT-/CI-V enabled transceivers that provides PTT output or keying output.

CAT/CI-V Control

The HamLinkUSB™ Rig Controller Plus logic level serial interface connects directly to radios with non-RS-232 CAT /CIV inputs. The radios include Kenwood, Icom, Yaesu, Ten-Tec, Elecraft, Alinco and other models.

PLUS Control

In addition to the standard serial interface on every HamLinkUSB™ Rig Controller Plus, the user can choose an option that connects and controls PTT lines or keying lines.

Software and Hardware Control

The HamLinkUSB™ Rig Controller Plus is compatible with most soundcard and software control programs, such as PK-Term (ROC). The PTT version of the HamLinkUSB™ Rig Controller Plus has a RTS output with a driver transistor to operate a PTT line from most sound card programs. Other versions have DTR/transistor outputs to drive electronic keyers and general purpose outputs for user-determined purposes. Another version has a logic level input to detect external switches such as foot switches.

The HamLinkUSB™ has Microsoft certified USB drivers for Windows 2000, Windows XP, Windows Vista, Windows Vista/64, Windows 7, and Windows 7/64.

Connectors & Cables

Timewave supplies a variety of cable choices for the HamLinkUSB™, ranging from standard pre-molded cables for the most common radios to custom cables for special requirements.
