Fully Isolated CAT & Audio Interface

Modern transceivers are equipped with a computer interface (CAT). This interface can be used for e.g. automated tuning, and retrieving the tuned frequency for logbook applications. Furthermore digi modes such as PSK31 and WSJT are popular these days. When connecting a transceiver with a PC, ground loops can cause interference or worse, damage your equipment in case of accidental faulty wiring of ground connections. (high current to power the transceiver may go through connected PC which is not dimensioned for such high current rating. The proper solution to prevent these problems is by electrically isolating the transceiver from the PC.
