I guess the question I should have asked was can a DRAWS be used to replace a failed UDRC2 on a DR1X

No.

Is #DRAWS a drop in replacement for the UDRC2 used with a DR1X?

Make sure it’s on the header correctly and check the 5V Pin on the Pi Header

I connected the Draws to my 12v battery box and nothing happens.  It boots normally, when I supply power to the Pi.

Are there troubleshooting instructions?

Thanks,

Removing the SQL Pin seems like the best way to deal with the Yaesu Radios

How do I read the state of the SQL pin if it's open-circuit?

The Active Low SQL pin drives a 4.7kOhm resistor to the base of a transistor.

Some radios may require a pull-up resistor to any convenient voltage 3-12V. I’d go with a 4.7k to 3.3V up to 10k at 12V.

Hi all,

The DRAWS board arrived yesterday evening, and today I picked up a new
Raspberry Pi 3 to connect it… so far things seem to be working but I'm
yet to hook up a radio.

Now, with the predecessor board (which has seen some use as a packet
radio station), I had to make a small modification to get audio on the
FT-897/857…

https://stuartl.longlandclan.id.au/blog/2016/11/20/getting-the-udrc-ii-to-play-nice-with-the-yaesu-ft-897d/

I've also used this same board with an Yaesu FTM-350AR and a Icom 706 MkIIG.

For the DRAWS, I intend to use it on my bicycle, which runs a FT-857D.
The plan is I'll set up two transceivers: a Wouxun KG-UVD1P I have
laying around set on 145.175MHz for APRS; and use the other port going
to the data jack on the FT-857D. I'll use the DRAWS auxiliary port to
control the CAT interface.

With the Pi acting as a WiFi access point, I should be able to use a
Mumble VoIP server to allow my mobile phone to connect and act as a
"cross-band repeater".

Thus when operating a check-point (like I was for the Yarraman to
Wulkuraka bike ride¹ last year), instead of being tethered to the
bicycle, I can plug my headset into my phone instead and still have
80m-70cm all-mode capability.

For this to work, I still want to be able to use my radio normally, so
basically be able to plug the headset into the microphone/speaker jacks
on the set, and use it like I do now -- as Queensland road rules
preclude me from using a mobile phone whilst in transit *for any reason*
(unless I want an AU$1000 fine for my troubles).

Do I need a pull-up on the SQL lines like I did for the UDRC-II in order
to have normal audio on the FT-857D/897D?

Regards,

As per our blog post, the cases are being redesigned to accommodate Pi3 and 4. We will post on the blog when we have a date.

Are there any news when the early adopter case will be shipped out to the customers. I still haven't received mine.
