The model 712 adapter cable is a soundcard USB device that allows direct connection of the AUX I/O, ACC 1, or AUX 1 jacks on the Omni VII, Orion/Orion II, Argonaut V and some Jupiter HF transceivers to an open USB port for digital mode use. This 3 foot long “plug and play” cable, which includes a soundcard device built in, eliminates the need for other connections between the jack on your Ten-Tec HF transceiver and your computer soundcard for operating digital modes. Computers with a USB port but no soundcard can also be used for digital mode operation with this cable. Plug one end of the cable into an open USB port, the other into the appropriate jack on the transceiver and use your favorite digital mode software to start operating.
Earlier Ten-Tec Jupiter transceivers (equipped with gray case and green screen) will require a small modification to use the 712 adapter. Please contact our service department at (865) 428-0364 or service@tentec.com for information. All newer Jupiter’s (equipped with black case/blue screen) will work “plug and play” with the 712.
