Re: XCat NG changes
Hi Dennis,
I was trying to describe what the legacy Xcat does. Other than where
we are limited by lack of pins (Doug Hall UF output primarily) Xcat NG
will have all of the functionality of the

Re: XCat NG changes
I really don't want to take that approach. One of the reasons for the
unavailability of the legacy Xcat is because of (assumed) soldering
skills/equipment that the "average" ham has. Of course this

I thought about that too. At 4 buck a pop, there's your I/O expansion in spades...still have the level traslation HW to factor in, but the new tech is made y the milineal era for the milineal era.

Sound like you earned some stress relief time.

Re: Has anyone fully decoded the X9000 memory mapping?
I'm able to edit the hex of the codeplug then update it and change the receive frequency using your calculator's figures. I verified it with an MT1000 10 meter handheld. I do think it needs a mode

It likes the uhf codeplug from that website. I'm going to go back and try yours again now to be sure it doesn't like it.

Nah, you cant take anything off the beginning. It screws up all the zeropage pointers and static data starting point in memory.

Re: Has anyone fully decoded the X9000 memory mapping?
Yeah, What Dennis said.
Is it an 8k or more device?
Did I see it goes up to 28256? I'll look at the site but yeah, you might have to do some reconfig to match that to the radio. Does it say it has a

It's like the ribbon cable is put on the 28 pin DIP plug upside down. The top of the device says pin1 - red stripe. I can use a multimeter at the ends of the ribbon cable where a litte bit of the

You've combined the emulator instructions about positioning with the
positioning in which the radio expects the 2k vs 8k ROMs to be
installed?

Re: Has anyone fully decoded the X9000 memory mapping?
I actually noticed that as well and did some trimming. Nothing I do works. When the device is placed as they seem to describe (2 pins over the edge for 2k) then the emulator loses power. It comes back

Re: XCat NG changes
It's also possible to shove a whole code plug mode line (or a whole
plug) into the Xcat. I'd really like that feature to stay.
The Pico is an open source design. We _could_ import its schematic,

Re: Has anyone fully decoded the X9000 memory mapping?
The plugs I read the other day all start with 0x1f 0xff, or 0x07 0xff.
This one has a leading 0x00.
The serial number field is consistently 10 characters, and there are
four characters after that

@ Casey,
Here's a stab at it. Lowband 10m + 6m + some various PLs you can disect what/where/how in you HE program.
The .rdt, I had to trim.

Re: XCat NG changes
Hi Skip,
To prevent data changes during an address change, you could queue up commanded changes to be made after the next address change during the address-to-data setup time.
