After 2 weeks trying to get my 891 working with Draws i am very confused! I did all recommended settings in the 891 menu . No receive no transmit !!! no PTT. I am using a ft-891 with same setiings

Hi Ronald, This might work for you: https://www.amazon.com/Taoglas-Cellular-GLONASS-Monopole-Antenna/dp/B01M25VGRQ/ref=sr_1_13?keywords=gps+antenna+sma&qid=1556752002&s=gateway&sr=8-13

No. The 3.5mm jack provides output audio from the Raspberry Pi's built in sound system (if enabled). The DRAWS™ sound system is wired left channel to the left mini-DIN and right channel to the

is there a place to attach an internal patch antenna? An externalantenna seems like a hassle and clutter for portable field use.

Is the DRAWS sound chip accessible via the main-board 3.5mm audio jack?

Thank you John. I got out the ole magnifier and see what you said. I had looked at that page before but did not see the small print. Just like contracts. lol. I have set it up to this with draw

If you look at page 17 of the FT-847 Manual in the lower left corner, you will see the drive levels to use for transmit (pin 1). Use those values (HF digital on Yaesu usually uses the 1200 baud

Thank you for all your work, So not that I have the PTT working I just need to get some audio out. I have not been able to make a QSO yet. I decode fine. It must be a level thing. I tried asking Yeasu

Jim, Thanks for the update. You shouldn't have to play with transmit levels. Look in your FT-847 manual for recommended TX audio levels for digital mode, then use John's web app for the appropriate

After all this trial and error. Really!!! I was trying all weekend to get this working. I finally decided I should just do a factory reset on my ft-847 since I had been doing so many things. I did and

OK, I've ordered a new Pi 3B+ so I can start using this. Steve, I'll do this the DRAWS way and connect via the accy plug to reap the benefits - I'm intrigued to see how it will do better than the icom

Aw geez, I need to keep reading up on this device. The answer seems to be in the groups.io. I see that another ham has simular trouble with an ft-817 and he got an anwser of trying fldigi and flrig

Could you be more specific? It isn't clear what "batches" you are talking about. John D. Hays Edmonds, WA K7VE

I know that the first 2 batches of 10k units didnt responded to low voltage. Is the board regulating 5v properly. check to see what thr voltage is on battery vs psu. Just my thoughts.

I ran some tests, with a weak battery and no battery. In each case, if the power is removed from the DRAWS™ HAT, then the GPS has to cold start and can take up to a few minutes to begin reporting

Time for an update. I tried every combination on wsjtx for PTT on my Yeasue FT-847. No joy. So I went to rigctl direct. when I just use command uppercase T, the 847 beeps twice and the led display

Chuck -- how long do you leave cgps or gpsmon running (in case of loss of satellite data and the GPS is cold starting)? -- John D. Hays Edmonds, WA K7VE

Thanks John! Private reply sent with three attachments. 73, Chuck

Hi Chuck, If can boot up on the 12.2V supply. Open a terminal, and run bin/showudrc.sh and capture the output and forward it, this will provide some diagnostics for the team to look at. If it turns
