PTT for IC-9700 over network

 

I'm trying to get Direwolf to transmit on my IC-9700 over a network but I can't figure out how to get the PTT to work.? Is there an easy way to do this?? Currently, I have a PC running Direwolf and the IC-9700 on a lan.? Maybe it is easier to run Direwolf off a raspberry pi with a usb connection to the ic-9700?? I'm open to suggestions.

Thanks.

Are you running Windows, or linux?

Direwolf should be able to key your Icom IC9700 no problem by asserting PTT via CAT control.? There are a LOT of materials on the web if you search for "PTT on Icom IC9700 over USB" such as:

Chris, as the IC9700 implements the Icom Remote server internally, you could connect to the radio over LAN as well instead of USB.

The commercial RS-BA1 remote control software for Windows implements the Icom remote protocol to talk with the radio's remote control sever, and there are already few open solutions which implement the same protocol where you could study how to control the radio over LAN for both PTT and audio.

Here's one to begin with;

Windows.
 

I was trying to do this over the ethernet lan, not via USB.? I have Direwolf and the Icom RS-BA1 remote control software running on a PC.? But, I am thinking now it might be easier to add a Raspberry PI with a USB connection to the IC-9700.? The Raspberry PI could run Direwolf.? I could then ssh into the RPi from the pc and also use the Icom RS-BA1 remote control software to control the radio.

Has anyone tried this?

Chris, I have done this. The radio represents itself over USB as serial port(s) and audio devices so the control is very straightforward.

The github code I pasted could free you from the distance limit of USB but if that is not the case, USB is more straightforward.
