Hardware, Cabling, Installations / Re: Using Signalink with HM-133 adapater with Icom 2820

Solved.  The ICOM 706 configuration of Signalink works fine using audio from the headphone jack, Packet Engine, and Hamscope.  Had issues still sending with AGW Terminal but could receive.   So seems to be more of a software issue.  Aux connector on Signalink can be used as passthrough of audio to speakers or headphones simultaneously.

Hardware, Cabling, Installations / Using Signalink with HM-133 adapater with Icom 2820

« on: 2015-01-25, 03:46:48 »

Attempted a few times to get digital soundcard function feeding the microphone input of an ICOM 2820 with HM133 adapter using Signalink and a standard Icom 706 jumper configuration (less audio to mic output on the signalink jumpers).  I'm able to trigger PTT but I don't get signal to the radio end for some reason.
Would appreciate knowing how the HM133 adapter may affect jumpers for Signalink or hearing a success story from someone with the same configuration.

Hardware, Cabling, Installations / Transparent Serial Com 1 to Remote TNC

« on: 2013-11-11, 19:48:17 »

I'm experimenting to see if I can configure an unused Com 1 Serial port to talk to a remote PK 232 TNC.  Presently Radio and Control boxes are configured with the front Control Micro-USB as Com 2  for radio control using HRD and work fine. (Icom 706 setup)

I put a USB to Serial adapter to the Com 1 front D-sub on the Control side and attached the PK TNC to the Com 1 port on the Radio side and tried Modes 1, 3,4, and 5 without success with or without RTS/CTS set to yes.  After failing all combinations, I'm lost as to how to make this process look like a pass through serial port.

I used the dumb terminal portion of Airmail to test.  Of note, RTS/CTS light green (seem active) on this program when the PK 232 is directly connected via the above serial/usb adapter to the computer.

I'm sure I'm missing something fundamental but only see Modes 1-8 available as options in this configuration.  Anyone have an idea how to make the serial port behave as a pure pass through?

General discussion forum / Icom 706 CT-17 HRD

« on: 2013-03-29, 04:24:39 »

I was trying to demonstrate Com 1 transparent use by configuring the Cntrl USB to be Com 1, then attaching an ICOM CT-17 level converter on the Radio COM 1 port using Serial Settings  Mode 2 for both ends, while keeping the Radio configuration for ICOM 706 and having the radio remote working at the same time. 

Try as I might, despite matching baud rates, etc, I was unable to get it to work.

I switched the USB to be Com 2, used the Com2 port on the radio end to the CT-17, and it worked fine through HRD and the remote simultaneously.

I'll leave it be since it works but the manual suggests Com 1 should work fine but it didn't. I did have to use a gender changer on the radio end for Com 1 due to the DB9 cables I had but they are straight cables, no crossover to my knowledge.  So I guess my advice is just use Com 2.

Thanks.  The HTTP command set is partway there.  It offers either ALL on/off functions with time, or a SPECIFIC SINGLE relay w/ timer, but doesn't appear to give the option of turning on Relays 1 AND 2 with timer or 1 and 3, etc.    Is there a command set that would let me apply  on/off to more than one relay, but less than all?

Is there a way to configure the switch so a single click can close specific multiple relays?
Better yet, is there a way to do the above but make it a momentary function (returns to default after mouse release).   Would love to adopt the switch to replace a screwdriver controller DPDT momentary center off configuration.
