Contact me if you would like to buy this.

The OptoLinx Universal interface is a TTL to RS232 convertor with built-in two level data slicer circuit. The Optolinx adapts for use with a wide variety of radios, scanners, decoders, frequency counters, and frequency recorders.

The distinguishing feature of the OptoLinx is its unique ability to connect both half and full duplex devices and alternate them under software control. The advantage of full and half duplex interface is that it allows for multiple radio computer controlled scanning.

The OptoLinx is the only device made that has the capability for complete versatility, functionality and speed that no other interface can match.
