From the project

A universal jumper module for the SignalLink USB amateur radio sound card. Includes circuit for connecting to radios with combined MIC/PTT line and provides a standard output for building custom cables.

The module is licensed under the TAPR Open Hardware License www.tapr.org/OHL.

When used with a single radio - especially a radio with an RJ-45 input - Tigertronics' instructions are simple and effective. Users also have the option of purchasing a turnkey solution with pre-installed jumper and custom cable.

Homebrewers or amateurs with multiple radios, however, may find themselves needing to change configurations often. Opening the SignaLink case can be inconvenient. Further, interfacing with handheld radios - which may have a combination MIC/PTT line - adds complexity because of the extra…
