Seems like it would be useful to others to capture much of the content in this thread in a DRAWS-FT-891 Configuration file. Ditto for FT-817/818, ICOM 706/7300 and likely Elecraft KX2/KX3 as time goes

There are quite a few ways to do it. There will be screenshots of the config menus in my upcoming video.

Just a thought, using Signalink 6 pin mini with RJ45, connect to a female to female RJ45 adapter then Signalink RJ45 to whatever radio working. I plan on using this with my TS 2000 73 Don va7dgp --

Steve, I have included a document the shows the FT-891 menu and the changes that I made to it in Yellow. Signal report on 20 meters from Southern California to a VE station: Sent -12 Received -09

Hi Rick, I do have my Draws hat/Pi3+ up and running, and am in the process of exploring it, but right now using an FT8900 radio rather than the kx2, and I am receiving AX25

Awesome Tim! Congrats Did you change any of the ALSA settings? Did you remove pin 6 from the cable? What was your signal report (Both Ways)? - Steve

Hello Bjorn I now have my Draws board and also have a KX2 that I would like to interface to it. Did you get yours running? If so how did you interface the radio to Draws and the Pi? Thanks for any

Success !!, Just made my fist contact using FT-891 and the DRAWS Hat Using WSJT-X in FT8 mode 73 Tim / AG6RS

Got it working 100%. Thanks for the help John. Here's the script: #!/bin/bash STATE=$1 PIN=23 if [ $# -le 0 ]; then echo -e "\nUsage:\n$0 state \n" exit 1 fi if [ "$STATE" = "on" ];

I am KM9G, calling CQ on 20m right now.

Steve McGrane, Let us know your callsign and what FT8 band(s) you are hanging out on. I will give you a try from MD if I see you. KD4IZ Jack Spitznagel FM19oo

Radio is in DATA mode for today's round of testing. Width was setup to 500, now it is 3000, graph looks much better now. Decoded signals look much better. For the record in USB mode where I was

What mode is your radio in? I'm just catching up on these threads this morning but i noticed if i left my radio in SSB (by mistake) it opened the mic on transmit and generated a feedback loop since i

Thanks for pointing this out John. I will putter around with Annaliese’s instructions… Exactly why I bought this little beast in the first place! Since my most of rigs are primarily ICOM, it will

Here is a screenshot from K7UDR's remote base. It runs a headless DRAWS™ HAT on a Raspberry Pi 3+. I access it from about 60 miles away over VNC. The left and right mini DIN-6 ports run

make sure you connect to the 'tip' not the ring of the speaker jack for audio out of the radio and the volume control knob affects the received signal audio level

Got it back by audio control settings. No idea why anything might have changed.

I rebuilt Xastir from the latest git pull (2.1.1) and I'm now able to use GPSD to update my location. Basil you were better able to explain to Tom and Curt what the hardware DRAWS is using, I opened

I had audio working ok for both Fldigi and Js8Call. Somehow or reason today I noticed no receive on either program. Anybody have any suggestions? THX Todd AL7PX
