Recently I got a FURUNO PA2500 linear.? all the modifications of the band Switch is done. For 12 Volts I used a DC-Dc Buck converter which I could accomadate inside itself.? My present problem is how I can connect the PTT line line of FURUNO (Green wire) with FT 857 PTT line.? one cannot connect it directly. I tried using a relay which will operate both the 857 and and FURUNO PTT lines using a foot switch. But with this operation I cannot avail CW full breaking facility. I cannot use the rear linear socket of 857 as it is engaged with CAT control.
Also like to know If I use a splitter? (homebrewed)CAT cable will there be any problem for the rig and FURUNO?
What is the purpose of TX ground and Band data pins A B C D of CAT/Linear socket of 857
Looking for suggestions and 73s
VU2TE - Unni?
