Universal CAT and programming USB to serial TTL interface for ham radio

Скраћена веза: https://pedja.supurovic.net/veza/9536

Some years ago I posted article describing Universal CAT and programming USB to RS232 TTL interface for ham radio that I made.

Here is small update, adapter for YAESU FT-8900, FT-8800 and alike radios.

FT-8900 and FT-8800 and some other Yaesu radios use two wire interface. One wire is ground and other is both RX and TX. This is also known as CIV-I interface used in Icom radios.

CIV-I interface is quite simple. There is a diode (universal like 1N14148) connecting RX and TX, oriented cathode toward TX, with one 10K pull up resistor to 5V on RX. […]

APRS/Packet Radio audio cable for connecting Kenwood/Baofeng/Wouxun to Samsung SIII

Here is a schematics of audio cable connecting Samsung SIII to Kenwood/Baofeng/Wouxun or other compatible radio.

Samsung SIII uses four pin 3.5 mm TRRX connector that differs than standard TRRX.

This cable can be used for APRS/Packet Radio. Most popular program for this purpose is APRSDroid. ALso can be used for Echolink, audio recordings, or similar usage.

You have to adjust volume output on both Samsung phone and radio to avoid distortions. Cell phone cannot control PTT of radio so you have to turn on VOX on radio to enable triggering TX when signal should be transmitted.

Universal CAT and programming USB to RS232 TTL interface for ham radio

As soon as I got first two ham radio rigs, I needed to connect them both to PC, to program memories or use CAT control from logging software. I realized that it is impractical to have as many USB to RS323 adapters as rigs.

As serial connection for radio requires just RX, TX and GND lines, and it is the same for most of modern radio stations. It is actually only radio connector that is different – signaling is the same.

It showed up quite easy to build simple multirig adapter. All you need to do is to use existing USB to serial interface adapter, cut it’s cable in two and insert male and female three pin 3.5 mm jack (commonly used as stereo audio connectors). […]
