I have two versions of the qsy'er. 
 
1: the Stone Mountain Engineering qsyer.  No longer sold new but when attached to the Kenwood or Yaesu radio allowed direct frequency access from an external keypad like a telephone keypad.  It requires minimal voltage and plugs in through the computer port.  I have one on my ts870s and one on my ts2000.  They also worked with the ts940s, ts440s and probably some more.
 
2: Millennium qsyer, made by John Hansen and currently sold for $95.00 shipped.  Works with Icom and Yaesu radios.  It also does direct frequency input, also changes the mode to the appropriate mode for the frequency.  28.400 = usb and so on.  The Millennium qsyer also has capability of an internal 9-volt battery.  do a search for Millennium qsyer and you will find out about it.  I have and use the millennium qsyer on my Icom ic706mk2g.
