Re: CAT Control Options

Ed Bloom, KD9FRQ All Messages By This Member #10670 Mike, I know the FT-450 does and I have a plain serial to serial cable on it now to my big PC. So you are saying that as along as I order a CAT-62 equivalent, I should be able to plug it into a USB port on the Pi and be good to go (once all the settings are in place? I just don't want to spend the money on a cable someone else has already tried and found to be lacking in functionality. In the example of Jason, KM4ACK, his rig had a direct USB port so he does not need anything special just a USB-A to USB-B. I think the FT-897 will be the same serial port as the FT-450. I will need to check as it has been boxed in the Go Case for a while.? the ICOM 718 is is new enough to me that I have not fully reached the point yet. I stilled asked the question, so I could go ahead and order the "I have successfully used "cables even if they do sit a month or two on the bench. Ed Bloom, KD9FRQ ewbloom@...

From there you use a USB to serial adapter...I use a generic one I got on Amazon... it is plug and play on the Pi basically.

I need some guidance on identifying available cables to allow FLRIG to control the RIG via CAT as built in the script / setup. I own an older FT-450 (currently my main Base HF Rig using a SignaLink), an FT-897 (my target HF Rig for mobile / portable ops) and an ICOM 718 (currently planned to be my back shack rig with a SignaLink and also connected to my 80m dipole). The reason I am looking for cable for all three rigs is that I will eventually want to move away from the big PC I am using in my shack and move the PI and totally 12v operation. Thank you in advance for your help in locating cable options for CAT control on the PI for these rigs. Ed Bloom, KD9FRQ ewbloom@... Sent from Webmail access -- John D. Hays Kingston, WA K7VE ?
