Re: To DATA jack or Accessory jack, that is the question.

A Signalink will not do 9600 baud. I suppose they have their place but I don't own nor will I ever. John, I found the 9600 setting you mentioned. M3 F-4, thanks for the tip.

Hi John,
Signalink USB's always use USB mode on the rig and makes a matching cable for each rig so it's an easy setup.
I just got my 7000, and I'm getting ready to hook up a Signalink USB but haven't gotten time to do it yet.
They work great on my other rigs, FTDX-9000D and Elecraft K3.
After a quick look at the manual, the 6pin DIN should be the proper port for the Signalink USB.
73 and enjoy,
Darrell AB2E

I tried using the Accessory port with my Signalink but it would never key up the radio. When I switched to the 6 Pin DIN plug it worked fine. I haven't tried my Digirig on the IC-7000, but the 6 Pin DIN plug cable & Digirig seem to work with every radio
I have that has the corresponding port.
When you use VARA FM WIDE don't forget to switch the radio's data speed to 9600. I sometimes forget it, but even VARA Narrow is still pretty quick. 73 John Denison KD5YOU On 4/24/2023 11:52 AM, Danny K5CG wrote:
I setup a DigiRig to my IC-7000 and connected the audio in/out/PTT to the Accessory connector. I was wondering if there is a compelling reason to use the DATA jack instead? From what I read in the manual the mic audio is muted when PTT is asserted through the DATA jack and I can confirm it is not muted when keyed via the Accessory jack. SO I should disconnect the mic when running digital modes. |
