This handy cable allows control of your JRC NRD-345, NRD-535 or NRD-545 receiver and JRC JST-245 transceiver by your computer.

For example, you can use remote control software, edit and backup your memory channels.

One end of the cable has a DB25 male plug which connects to the RS-232C socket on the radio. The other end has a USB plug which connects to the PC's USB port. The cable contains a USB to serial converter, so the radio appears as a COM port on the PC. Length approx 1.7m/5ft 6ins (if required, you can add a USB extension cable up to 5m long).

Our standard cable uses the SiLabs CP2102 USB to serial chipset.

This premium version uses the FTDI FT232RL chipset.

Both work with all current versions of Windows..

For more detailed information please read our USB chipset information page.

Please note that a CAT cable is not an audio interface for datamodes.

Please check the availability of suitable control software for your model of radio and that the software supports USB.
