{{ Note|This solution is for advanced users and requires a steady hand and microsoldering experience. }}
 +
You can purchase an unmodified CMXXX USB sound card and solder GPIO directly for COS, PTT, and CTCSS. However, it's not for the faint of heart. Doing this requires a steady hand and magnification equipment to solder to the tiny leads on the circuit board.

[http://www.uricables.com KE6PCV's URI Cables] are custom-made cables for many radios. If you don't want to deal with the tedium of soldering cables for your radio interface to your radio, this is the option for you. They can be used with the Master's Communications RA and DA adapters and URI/URI-X adapters. Cable selection includes:
