This thread caught me eye as I have two SignaLinks (along with cables and modules for Yaesu 8900, Alinco DR-235, Baofengs/Kenwood/etc, Anyone 778UV, etc) and usd to use one for APRS/digipeater/igate stuff, but now using just one of the EasyDigi¡¯s. Have three EasyDigi¡¯s, the two shown here and one in current use with s FT60R going into an amplifier and out a jpole (that one also has the blue USB PTT cable). I¡¯m using just a RPi02W for DireWolf and triggering the USB by ¡°PTT /dev/ttyUSB0 RTS DTR¡± in direwolf.conf. For audio, I¡¯m using a ¡°Fe-Pi¡± audio hat (well, actually it is WB7FHC¡¯s clone since the Fe-Pi is no longer made), and it works great. Google ¡°Nexus DR-X¡± and then look at part listing if anyone is interested in getting one of those boards. I have two and they work a treat. They don¡¯t get disconnected by RF like sometimes the USB sound dongles do. The EasyDigi on the left is just a VOX one. I don¡¯t really care to use just VOX, but sometimes it is convenient, especially with just a cheap Baofeng or such. I have a few of the BTech K1-APRS cables, but found the EasyDigi to work much better. Also have a MobiLinkD TNC3 that is part of my WinLink Gateway. That¡¯s a great device too, but currently on hold due to world chip shortage. Hoping the MobiLink is sold again soon as been patiently waiting to get a second one. Anyway, just saw the post about switching from using a SignaLink to EasyDigi and thought I¡¯d chime in as I did the same. When I was using the SignaLink, it was able to trigger PTT on my mobile and didn¡¯t have to use VOX. EasyDigi¡¯s are great devices to have also though.
