I'm looking to get a Yaesu FT-8900r hooked up for 2m packet, and looking for a sanity check on my thoughts.
My current plan is to get an Easy Digi Universal, which if I read it right, contains the sound card, and will hook up directly to the 9-pin mini-DIN on my radio.? Then Direwolf can be configured to talk via USB to the Easy Digi, can be setup to control PTT, and will send/rcv using the Easy Digi's sound card.? Computer-wise, I would either be using a Win10 laptop or a RasPi 3B+ running Raspbian; I'd like to be able to switch between the two, as I see fit.
I do have a question into Clifford at Easy Digi, as his main listing appears to be for the 6-pin DIN, and I might need a different model.? Any feedback on that?? Anybody needed to go that route?
Thanks,
