Fusion radios

Patrick Connor All Messages By This Member #557 Has anyone tried D-RATS on a Fusion radio? The operators guide is vague on connecting a computer to the radio. The only references to it I can find on the internet say "it should work". The manual mentions menu 9APRS -> 17 COMPORT to set it up for external data. If anyone has anymore information about this, I would like to know about it. Thanks, Patrick (N3TSZ)
David Ranch All Messages By This Member #559 开云体育 Hello Patrick, I think it was me saying "it should work" but that's not really useful is it?? Anyway, I DID try sending data to my FT1D via the included SCU-19 cable but it didn't do anything.? When I did change the 9APRS -> 17COMPORT to either "GPS" or "WAYPOINT", I would see on the computer the expected GPS NEMA strings or APRS Posits/Objects/etc strings.? Beyond that, I never found any other YSF specific radio settings for data transport.? Thinking it could be a cable thing: ? - The manual talks to upgrading the FT1DR via the SCU-18 cable.? I was successful in upgrading it with the SCU-19 as well so I think these two parts are equivalent ? - Looking at their description of the other data cable "CT-170", that one seems to be the same serial data as seen via the SCU-19 cable but just not translated into USB ? - The only other mention in the manual for "data communications" is when the camera mic is used.? That's controlled under 11Option ->USB camera If the camera mic does something unique here to put the radio into DW (Data WIDE) mode, it's not mentioned in the manual.? I also don't find any language in the manual that's similar to Dstar's "Data TX --> Auto" and what not and there isn't any information in the Yaesu System Fusion standards doc either.? It seems to me that we need to reverse engineer what the camera mic does first to see if that's USB or RS232 data and what actually happens to understand more. Ps.? Does anyone know what is the technical name of this 11-pin connector that the FT1D is using?? I hope it's not 100% proprietary. --David KI6ZHD
Patrick Connor All Messages By This Member #560 Hi Dave, Thanks for that info. I also know a few folks in my club that have fusion radios, so I will be hitting them up for some knowledge. Maybe I will get a chance to experiment with one of theirs'. Thanks, Patrick (N3TSZ) toggle quoted message Show quoted text From: "David Ranch dstar@... [d-rats_group]" To: d-rats_group@...
