Ten-Tec Model 1213 Rig to Soundcard Isolation Interface Kit for Orion, Orion II, Omni VII, Jupiter, & Pegasus NEW in Box

It is a fully assembled kit.

Ten-Tec Model 1213 Rig-to-Soundcard Isolation Interface Kit is a vintage accessory kit from the early-to-mid 2000s (circa 2005–2010 era), designed specifically for seamless digital mode operation (e.g., PSK31, RTTY, FT8 precursors, SSTV) with certain Ten-Tec transceivers. It provides galvanic isolation between the rig's audio lines and a standard PC soundcard to eliminate ground loops, hum, noise, and potential RFI issues common in direct connections.Key Details and Specifications

Purpose: Allows direct hookup of the transceiver's accessory jack to a PC soundcard for receive (RX) audio to soundcard line-in and transmit (TX) audio from soundcard line-out to rig's data/mic input, with built-in isolation transformers or circuitry for clean, hum-free audio.
Compatibility:
- Orion / Orion II (Models 565/566) – rear AUX I/O jack
- Omni VII (Model 588) – rear ACC 1 jack
- Jupiter (Model 538/539) – rear ACC 1 jack
- Pegasus (Model 550) – front ACCESSORY jack
Features: Includes cables, connectors, isolation components (likely transformers and possibly level controls), and assembly instructions; sold as a user-assembled kit for custom fit.
Era: Mid-2000s, when digital modes surged in popularity and many rigs lacked built-in soundcard interfaces (pre-USB soundcard adapters like later Ten-Tec options).
Build: Simple kit with parts for soldering/assembly; compact, often housed in a small enclosure or inline.
