FT60R PTT EasyDigi [SOLVED]


 

¿ªÔÆÌåÓý

Ok,?

I have it working. ?Thanks for reminding me about the CT-44. ?I actually have three of them that built up (I do a bit of Wires-X), so had a spare one. ?Apparently the FT60R¡¯s mic input isn¡¯t a standard TRRS, but the CT-44 works great with it. ? Of course, since I just had one combined line coming out of the EasyDig and the CT-44 has two inputs (speaker and mic), I had to use a splitter first. Then, since one of them is a 2.5mm input, I had to use a 3.5mm to 2.5mm adapter as well, but it all works.

Thanks for the CT-43 reminder!

?It¡¯s the cable. ?I have to do the same thing to get it to work with my FT70DR. ?Problem with pulpy the cable slight out is that audio goes both out the speaker and RX cable. ?Obviously I don¡¯t want audio going out the speaker. ?Looks like new to get this cable fixed.

Oh interesting.. similar to this is a common issue with Baofeng radios with programming cables and the issue is on the Baofeng radio itself.? I've never heard this on Yaesu radios.? Regardless, good to hear you got things working but you might have a failing radio or a improperly made cable and this "iffyness" will probably lead to unreliable packet connections.

There is a schematic posted here (bottom image on the right):

To me, it seems like your Direwolf configuration using "DTR RTS" should work.? Are you *sure* that /dev/ttyUSB0 is the correct device for this blue USB to serial port cable?

You didn't say how you're connecting between the Easy Digi and the FT-60R. Whatever cable you're using needs to be carrying the PTT signal to the radio, in addition to the audio signal.

Hi,

Is anyone else using a FT60R and EasyDigi? I just received one.?It receives well, but can¡¯t get it to TX. I¡¯m using a Raspberry Pi running DireWolf. I know the audio is getting out of the sound device because if I plug in a set of headphones, I can hear the burst. I¡¯m thinking it must by the PTT (?). In direwolf.conf, I have the following line for PTT:

PTT /dev/ttyUSB0 RTS DTR

This is exactly what I used with the K2-2pin EasyDigi with USB and it worked great. I tried every variation of RTS, -RTS, DTR, -DTR also and nothing worked.? Ie, i tried:

PTT /dev/USB0 RTS DTR
PTT /dev/USB0 -RTS DTR
PTT /dev/USB0 RTS -DTR
PTT /dev/USB0 -RTS -DTR

Any help would be most appreciated.

Thanks!
