Hello, I want to be sure that I understand if this will work. I need to buy the cable to connect a Kenwood radio to the Ameritron ALS-1306. Then I also need to buy the Startech-ICUSB232FTN cable.
Then to make it all work, 1- load the new Smart SDR into the radio, 2-connect the two cables together. 3- Connect the USB end of the cables to the Flex 6300 radio, Connect the Ameritron cable to the ALS-1306, and that is it. Will the amplifier follow the radio from band to band with this setup?
Thanks for your help.

You don't need the Kenwood cable if you can put a DB-9 connector on the end of a cable!
You can do this two ways, one way is with FTDI DCB cable and second the FTDI Serial cable, works great either way you go WITH-OUT the Keywood cable.
Contact me direct " wx7y at arrl.net " if you want to build it yourself by installing the cable end connectors.

Bret - I have the "serial-to-USB" cable I got from Flex for my 6500. The DB9 connector is MALE - as is the connector on my ALS-1306. It seems like I could get a "female-to-female" adapter and it would be the same as your explanation above. Am reading this right? Thanks in advance!
I think you will need a Null Modem adapter instead of just a female-to-female adapter.
I have moved on since I ran the 1306 so it has been a while since I did the cable so not real fresh in my head.
