MIC-to-CW Cable |
|
Dave Ingram, the talented author of many CQ Magazine columns, suggested this cable for the FT-817(ND). Depending upon how you have mounted the FT-817(ND), plugging in the cable on the back of the FT-817(ND) for the keyer can be difficult to reach in some cases. The MIC-to-CW cable allows you to take advantage of a special feature in the FT-817(ND) that lets the user connect the key through the MIC jack. Operation is simple. Just set KYR ON, set MENU 36 ON, plug paddles into red jack of the MIC-to-CW cable, and plug the other end of the MIC-to-CW cable into the MIC jack after unplugging the microphone. The left photograph above shows how the MIC-to-CW cable interfaces between the FT-817 and the Palm Paddles. NOTE: The FT-817, Palm Paddles, and keyer cable are not included in the MIC-to-CW cable package. |
