Re: Simultaneous use of Cat Control and Amplifier
I have an amp. I just need some type of cable to run cat control and the amp from the accessory jack in the back of the radio. This past post was in reference to a box built by a company to do just

Re: Simultaneous use of Cat Control and Amplifier
Go and find a cheap CB amp. They will work from DC to 50MHz at least. You will likely need a bandpass filter for them. They¡¯ll take 2 or 3 watts and produce 100W. 73, Clint, VE3CMQ Sent:

I use the same charging unit that came with Windcamp 8 years ago. Best battery accessory at the time for the FT817ND. Still the best at present time plus the external batteries now available are much

Re: Lithium Battery Options
John, You Stated --RC packs are designed to work with RC speed controllers, most of which have low voltage cut off. The biggest down side of using an RC pack verses a LiFePO with a BCM is you can in

Re: CAT commands ?
Thanks for the info. I went down the Nextion path with the cute ubitx QRP XCVR but it was torture, The Nextion display can be used as a simple terminal but it has a lot of computing power itself if

Re: Simultaneous use of Cat Control and Amplifier
That would be a great item for sure but they sure are pricey. Im going to look for a cheaper alternative. For that kind of money if I dont have cat control it might not be a big deal. It would be nice

Re: Simultaneous use of Cat Control and Amplifier
You might want to look at the bhi LTD. CAT MATE. It is designed for the FT-857, 897 and 817 to connect 2 devices to the CAT port.

Re: Simultaneous use of Cat Control and Amplifier
Yep, I just found one of the cheap cable splitters on eBay. Haven't used it yet, since the FT-818ND has been diverted to packet. Noting the available amps for the 817/818 most do not have the pass

Yes, the comms is both ways. IE. As well as displaying the current radio state you can control the rig too as i mentioned below (freq input, mode etc). Here's a link to the facebook posting where

Re: Simultaneous use of Cat Control and Amplifier
I believe I¡¯ve heard of people just using a Y-cable and getting it to work. Seems I recall W4RT was selling Y-cables back in the day. I have no real experience on it, my 817NDs have only been

Re: Simultaneous use of Cat Control and Amplifier
I think the 857 is similar enough. I think the key is to have a 'pass thru' interface in the linear. Basically a receive only interface. Two gadgets can't talk on the line 'without a lot if
