BD USB Interface Cable (Virtual Port)

Windows device driver information for BD USB Interface Cable (Virtual Port)

The BD USB Interface Cable (Virtual Port) interface is a new development, based on the hugely successful USB-2 device. The main difference is that the BD USB Interface Cable (Virtual Port) interface now contains an own sound card, which is connected via USB to the computer. So you do not need to separate audio cables from the computer anymore, the original sound card of your computer remains free for other applications. The sound card of the BD USB Interface Cable (Virtual Port) device offers two distinct advantages over standard cards: a lower noise level and a higher dynamic range (typ. 87dB). This makes this sound card much more suitable for demanding amateur radio applications. All connections to and from the computer and radio are isolated either by transformers or optically. Control lines exist for CAT, PTT, CW/FSK and Squelch. The USB-III interface works with all computers with USB connector. Drivers are available for Windows 2000/XP/Vista, as well as Apple G4 with OS-X 10.4 or later, and for up to date Linux distributions. Windows 98/98SE is not supported.
