Re: YAAC and Direwolf interfacing
That's what I did too.
The digirig would provide PTT for you but again, you would end up connecting that to the PTT of the DATA port and you'd be sacrificing the other half of the radio as unusable.

Re: YAAC and Direwolf interfacing
You can use a GPIO but it is a terrible idea. If you PTT this radio with the PTT input on the DATA port then it will key the radio on whatever side (A or B) is active. If you use a serial port and the

Re: YAAC and Direwolf interfacing

Re: YAAC and Direwolf interfacing
Hi Danny
I already have a homebrew cable with a miniDin on one end and a DB9 on the other. This was from my old tncpi2. In the old setup, the miniDin plugged into the Kenwood radio and the DB9 into

Re: YAAC and Direwolf interfacing
Yes Joe, that will work.
Now you need to connect that to the radio body by making the cable or with a Kenwood PG-5H cable kit.
Connect the sound card jacks to the USB sound card. The DB-9 data

Re: OSX and RT Systems cables?
Sorry I can’t help you, I have no idea what “yaar” is in relation to a radio or the computer you’re using.

Re: YAAC and Direwolf interfacing
No, it's a standard 6-pin mini-DIN, so there probably several other sources besides Kenwood for such a cable, especially considering you need the appropriate other end for connecting to your sound

Re: YAAC and Direwolf interfacing
Hi Danny
Yes I realize now that the digirig is more than I need! I am going to purchase a "simple" usb sound card. I would appreciate getting your config files if I can to get me started on this.
