Re: Using RTSystems cables
1200 b, not 9600 b for the radio. That's it's RX/TX baud rate. I believe the comm port rate can be as high as your setup will allow though 9600 b is a nice rate.

Re: YAAC and Direwolf interfacing
That's what I did too. The digirig would provide PTT for you but again, you would end up connecting that to the PTT of the DATA port and you'd be sacrificing the other half of the radio as unusable. If you use Echolink Sysop mode then the data band will stay dedicated to APRS (I use the right - B side) and you can still use the other side (A side in my case) like a normal radio in the shack, that's the advantage. 73 Danny, K5CG HH 550-0609 SKCC 14257 From: "Joseph LaFerla" <joe@...> To: "yaac-users" <[email protected]> Sent: Sunday, December 1, 2024 3:45:08 PM Subject: Re: [yaac-users] YAAC and Direwolf interfacing Hi Danny

I have been absorbing all the information that you and others have provided and have decided to emulate your situation and forget the digirig (unfortunately because it was expensive hi hi).? I will purchase a USB serial card and the cable from Kenwood.? That should get me going.? Please let me know if I am missing something.? Thanks for the diagrams of the connecting cables but I think I will be better off with the kenwood cable.

Re: YAAC and Direwolf interfacing
If you want to make your own cables, this is what you need (drawing modified from the manual). The Serial port can go through a DB-9 connector to a USB Serial port DB-9 or you can use a USB to serial module like this The connectors for the radio are plain Mini-DIN 6 pin. 73 Danny, K5CG HH 550-0609 SKCC 14257 From: "Joseph LaFerla" <joe@...> To: "yaac-users" <[email protected]> Sent: Sunday, December 1, 2024 8:29:17 AM Subject: Re: [yaac-users] YAAC and Direwolf interfacing Hi Danny I already have a homebrew cable with a miniDin on one end and a DB9 on the other.

Re: YAAC and Direwolf interfacing
You can use a GPIO but it is a terrible idea. If you PTT this radio with the PTT input on the DATA port then it will key the radio on whatever side (A or B) is active. If you use a serial port and the RTS signal on the PC port while the radio is in Echolink mode, it will always only key the side setup for Echolink (even though you are running APRS).

USB Soundcard --- > DATA Port USB Serial ---> PC Port You can use the Kenwood cable kit or make your own. It's that simple. No GPIO, no transistors needed. 73 Danny, K5CG HH 550-0609 SKCC 14257 ----- Original Message -----

So you need the audio connections to your USB sound card, and the PTT and audio ground to a transistor current amplifier from a GPIO pin on your Pi to be the PTT signal (many circuits out there of how to use an open-collector transistor to keep from frying your Pi chip from overvoltage). Then you tell DireWolf to use the GPIO pin for PTT. No need for the PG-5H serial port cable. ________________________________________ From: [email protected] <[email protected]> on behalf of Joseph LaFerla <joe@...> Sent: Sunday, December 1, 2024 9:29 AM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [yaac-users] YAAC and Direwolf interfacing Hi Danny I already have a homebrew cable with a miniDin on one end and a DB9 on the other.
