Demonstrates the construction of a custom programming cable for Yaesu VX-7R and VX-5R handheld transceivers, enabling computer interfacing for memory management and frequency coverage adjustments. The resource details a six-transistor circuit design, powered by the computer's RS232 interface, utilizing readily available and inexpensive discrete components. It includes a complete bill of materials, specifying transistors like the _2N2222_ and _2N3906_, diodes, and resistors, along with a matrix board layout for compact assembly within a 75x50x25mm enclosure. The guide provides practical tips for working with matrix board, such as scoring and snapping, track cleaning, and component soldering order. It outlines the specific connection requirements for both the VX-7R (via Yaesu's CT-91 breakout lead with a 2.5mm stereo jack) and the VX-5R (via CT-44 or a four-section jack), detailing signal and ground pinouts. The author successfully tested three circuits, documenting the one with complete two-way communication, allowing users to program their rigs with software like _VX-7 Commander_ and achieve capabilities beyond commercial cables, including band adjustments.
