Hello Rusty,
Greetings, I'd like to acquire a radio to use for my 2-way
iGate. I've a rack-mount faceplate that can hold another
Kenwood mobile, so that would be the preference.
Can you describe what you want to do?? For most APRS installations,
a single radio is more than enough.? I assume this is for VHF APRS
but which Kenwood radios are you thinking about?
Will the 6 pin mini-DIN radio connector on the DRAWS hat
allow hamlib/rigctl radio control at the same time as the audio,
perhaps as 2 separate devices?
No.. each 6pin DIN connection is for interfacing to one radio for
audio in, audio out, and PTT.? There is a single serial port on the
DRAWS board which could be used for CAT control but not two.
The gpredict software can then adjust for Doppler shifting
while kissutil and direwolf are {en,de}coding the APRS traffic.
I think that normally an audio interface gets "locked" by
direwolf?
Unless you're trying to do satellite work, you won't need to do
anything with doppler shift.
