I'll pile in positively on Ham Made Parts (no affiliation, just a happy customer.) Nice and easy to deal with. 73, Keating KC4HSI

I believe Ham Made Parts have a cable for this. -- John D. Hays Kingston, WA K7VE

Hi Bill, W7TUT is not making cables currently -- unless that has changed recently, but Les at Ham Made Parts will make cables. Add Icom ID-880H for 1200/9600 baud with DIN-6 port. Add Yaesu FTM-100DR

Bill, You missed one vendor, Bridgecom. They make a series of single band radios that have a 15 pin connector for interfacing. These are resonably priced ($240) units. I will be setting one up for

Here's a start of list where I was attempting to organize our options. https://groups.io/g/nwaprs/wiki/Radios-for-Packet Oh if only we had a modern Kantronics D4-10 with agile frequency

TM-V71 & FTM-100D. I think there was a way to bring COS out of the TM-271, but that option disappeared on the -281. I agree… for the extra $5 it would cost to add a dataport, I wish all the

I’ve had success with an ICOM IC-207H and a Kenwood TM-251A. The first thing I look for is the 6 pin mini-din or the capability for packet. 73 Jim

I have successfully used an Alinco 135 MkIII and Yaesu FT-7900. Purchased my cables from HamMadeParts.com Ed Bloom, KD9FRQ ewbloom@... Sent from Webmail access

Is there a list of known compatible (or at least community aware working) radios? My FT-891 is working fine on the HF side of things (should be back any day now) and I'm working on my TM-281, but I'm

I feel soooo bad you guys. I have not updated this for you. I did get my draws hat working fine on the new PI3B+. It is working just fine. I never tried again on the piDrive as it was working with

Is there somewhere that the UDRC drivers can be found, to install them myself on Raspbian? I am interested in building things up myself, instead of depending on pre-assembled compass linux. Thanks!

Perhaps you could share the current status of DRAWS with those of us who cannot make it to Hamvention this year. -- Steve Stroh (personal / general): stevestroh@...

I let the smoke out of my radio that I've been using for the DRAWS videos and I don't have a backup right now that works with DRAWS. In the meantime I've got some parts in for testing when the radio
