Interface to FT-857D Control head


 

Does anyone know where I might be able to find the protocol between the radio and the control head of my Yaesu FT-857D? I need to do a frequency display and a few other things while the radio is remoted in the trunk. I don't want to run that much extra wire to use data from the CAT port.

I ran about 15ft of CAT 5 or maybe 6 the same way with no discernable loss of latency and no issues

Take a look at this ...






I've been working with it a it but? \this is my forst forray with this kind of programming.

I'm going to use this controller -

because it already has two hardware optical shaaft encoder inputs. Seems the perfect controller, with a nice programmable LCD.

I'm doing this because I have the dreaded bad lines in my display ...


Please ping me if you make any progress!!!
