I was at the DCC and I am very excited about the new DRAWS Pi-Hat. I am hoping it will be available very soon??

Mike, I have seen mention of DRAWS but haven't seen what it is. I am a thumbdv user and play with DSTAR and DMR. Do I want to jump on this bandwagon?

Of course, we will publish the Product Brief at the same time.

How about posting the presentation from Summer Gathering or TAPR? I attended SG but was unable to see the DRAWS session due to other business. The product description on the website doesn't say much.

I just read the Product Brief. What rigs use those 6-pin mini-DIN connectors? I'm thinking Yaesu FT-817 and newer? How about connecting it to an Elecraft KX3/PX3 system? Is it compatible?

Hi Gwen, This is a common interface across the big 3 amateur radio manufacturers that support a 'packet radio' accessory jack. It should be plug compatible with many radios including the FT-8x7 and FT-818. For radios without this connector, this is a classic '4-wire' interface; PTT, DISC or AFOUT, AFIN, and SQL (plus GND). One would simply cut the 6 Pin Mini DIN cable in half and attach to the radio/connector of choice. We will be building a database of radios along with level settings for setup.

What sort of applications do you forsee people using DRAWS with?

Even after all these years - the radio is still the big problem for ham data... https://groups.io/g/nwaprs/wiki/Radios-for-Packet Having seen early slides at the NWAPRS SG presentation I will assume 9600 packet data is a design requirment. 73 Bill, WA7NWP

I just discovered recently (Thank you Peter) that my IC-7000 has a compatible 6-pin mini-DIN connector. I tested it with FSQ-6 using my existing UDRC-II and it worked. Next to be tested is 9600 Packet Winlink using Dire Wolf.

Jeff,
Assuming that the DRAWS will operate similarly to the existing RPi/UDRC-II kit:
I know that there are many RPi/UDRC users who are using it for APRS running XASTIR. Personally, my primary interests are twofold: 1- Running Fldigi in FSQ-6 mode and/or MT63 mode for local simplex digital comms. 2- Running DireWolf to make the DRAWS into a network-attached TNC so that I can run RMS Express on my network-attached Windows PC. 73 Chris KC9AD

In addition to FSQ I plan to add in FT8Call as an option for my portable station.

In light of the article in QST, Oct 2018, "The WSJT-X Appliance" ( page 44) that states the Raspberry Pi does not have sufficient performance to run the FT8 and FT8Call protocols, have you test results on prototypes that would contradict this article?

I haven't read the QST article yet -- however, I have successfully run WSJT-X using the CODEC on the DRAWS board on Raspberry Pi 3

Frankly, that is one person's experience/opinion. As I stated earlier, my experience with WSJT-X on the Raspberry Pi, with the CODEC used in the DRAWS, is that FT-8 runs fine. This also seems to be the experience of those in this thread. https://groups.io/g/ft8call/topic/26219896#533 Two points --

Gwen,
Did you ever get a functional description document, youtube, powerpoint, smoke signals on Draws from anyone? Oct QST or the schematic posted to groups.io doesn’t do it for me.. Maybe there is a West Coast secret club keeping the East Coast folks in the dark.. Sorry in advance for being so thick…. Dan ww3n

Nothing is being 'hidden', this is a new product. What exists is available.
