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?

I wish to provide APRS 2-way iGate service on any dual-(or tr-)band frequency needed. At the current time, it's only 144.390 and 145.825 when RS0ISS or other satellites' digipeaters such as NO-44 are operational and above the horizon. That's why I use gpredict on Linux, and that's why hamlib/rigctl shell-scripting will allow me to switch radio frequencies and accommodate Doppler as needed. I suppose that for direwolf audio I could wire a cm108 USB from the RPi into whatever radio is eventually chosen, and use the DRAWS 6 pin mini-DIN for the hamlib/rigctl. My major challenge is mechanical aptitude due to neurological issues.

Currently, the Kenwood radios supported by hamlib/rigctl are, according to :

I was hoping someone had familiarity with the Kenwood mobile radios with 2 screws on each side for my faceplate rack mount that would meet the requirements.
??? Thank you.

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.
