The Parallel Interface Cable

The interface cable connects your transmitter "training" connector to the PC parallel port (printer port). The training connector is also known as the "buddy box" connector, usually used to connect an instructor transmitter to a student transmitter (where a switch is used to transfer control from the instructor's tx to the student's tx). Note: Windows 95/98/ME only and support for FMS only; for 2000 or XP and other software support , see our PIC-Serial, Gampeport, or USB interfaces.

All cables are made from coax cable (RG174/U) for clean signal transmissions (laptop OK); the exceptions are BuddyBox Edition cables, which are made from shielded cable. Free CD of FMS software and additional aircrafts included.
