Capabilities

  • Operate your favorite digital mode program simultaneously with your favorite logging program using the RIGblaster’s virtual COMport Splitter software

  • Includes Instant Setup Connectors and cables for microphone configuration
  • Front panel mounted transmit and receive audio controls with VOX delay control
  • Rig control interfaces for CAT, CI-V or DB9 on radio

  • Microsoft® certified USB drivers are automatically installed from Windows Update
  • Powered through USB cable, no wall supply needed

Compatible with All Manufacturers’ Radios

  • Pre-wired microphone jumper blocks known as ISCs enable users to match microphone connector wiring schemes without having to refer to wiring diagrams. Six ISCs are provided (three “Round Metal” and three “RJ45 Modular”) to cover the most popular radios – Icom, Yaesu, Kenwood, JRC, SGC and Elecraft
  • Older radios can usually be wired up with individual jumpers
  • Works with any radio that has a ‘Foster’ 8 pin round screw on microphone connector or RJ45 modular connector – click here to check compatibility
  • Any radio with RJ25 6 wire microphone connector with the purchase of an optional FT100 style 6 wire modular mic cable
  • Any radio with 4 pin round microphone connector with the purchase of a optional 4 pin mic cable

Built-in Rig Control

Mic/Keying/Audio Flexibility

  • RTS, Footswitch or Vox PTT keying circuit
  • Front panel mounted transmit and receive audio level knobs makes it easy to adjust transmit/receive levels on the fly without having to make changes in software sound levels
  • No extra manual switches needed, includes DPDT relay for true automatic operation unlike other sound card interfaces
  • Simpler operation than the other brands, you never have to remember to push un-needed switches to make your station work
  • Rear panel RCA PTT switch / foot switch jack enables the PTT override and interrupt
  • Properly matched and RF suppressed audio for your radio
  • Fully isolated transmit audio and PTT keying, unlike other interfaces that have little or no isolation
  • Positive and fully automatic PTT control supports almost 100 ham programs

The microphone audio is completely isolated from all other grounds.
