Allstar denoted pins pp9 through pp12 are 'Input pins' listed as 'A#' in the parallel port scheme.
    +
Special note: All these pins require 'buffering' by adding a transistor to do the actual switching.
 +
They will not sink much current on their own.
 +
In the case of some older radios you might interface, you might need to buffer with a transistor (2n2222 / 3904/3906)
 +
AND a relay actuated by the buffer transistor. Mainly the PTT lines.
 +
The best design is with optically-coupled transistors to prevent voltages and/or rf from running back through this port.
 +
The unused output pins can be applied to switch things at the site. i.e. fan/light/alarm or even switching off other equipment.

Check command tables for info, not related to simple_usb.conf.
