Hi Bob,
Both digirig and Tigertronics (SignaLink) offer a variety of cables.? You can of course make up your own. |

开云体育Interesting, Mark—thanks for info.? I got to thinking that maybe I had a SignaLink around here somewhere, that I got through W0STV, but can’t put my fingers on it tonight. ?I’m afraid that maybe it got sold again. ?If anyone has a used TNC that works, I will consider buying it from you; good, clean equipment only, please. ?Reply to: ? robert.andre@...? It looks like I can then order a quality cable for my VHF radio, for about $20. -Bob KE0EXE? On Oct 15, 2023, at 13:44, Mark Kelm via groups.io <gmarkkelm@...> wrote:

I second Ken's suggestions, including the preference for a sound card interface to a dedicated TNC (outside of mobile where simplicity is preferred).

I actually prefer the Digirig to the SignaLink for most applications since it can also do CAT for supported rigs and it doesn't use vox which needs a little (1 time to be fair) adjustment. It's also half the price. I also use quite a few easy-digi boards for some applications. They can get to be a bit more homebrew but in some cases like on a Raspberry Pi or other single board computer it's convenient to use the GPIO pins to drive PTT. On a PC, if you have to buy a USB serial adapter for PTT, and a USB sound card, plus an easy-digi boards you are most of the way to a Digirig in terms of price. 73, Ben KU0HN -------- Original Message -------- On Oct 15, 2023, 9:04?PM, Gettuit < gettuit@...> wrote:

开云体育I’ve decided to try the Digirig. ?I have bought a 1-of-4 switch box for the 8-pin RJ-45-style cables and also the special cable for my Yaesu Ft-2500M—about $50 total. ?So, now I think I only need to order the Digirig unit, itself, to have all the hardware I need. ?In a few weeks, I hope to check-in (via VARA-FM?) on 2m. Thanks for the info, Ken and Ben.? -Bob KE0EXE? On Oct 15, 2023, at 21:52, Ben Kuhn via groups.io <ku0hn@...> wrote:
