The Active Low SQL pin drives a 4.7kOhm resistor to the base of a transistor.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, -- Stuart Longland (aka Redhatter, VK4MSL) I haven't lost my mind... ...it's backed up on a tape somewhere. 1. https://www.brisbanewicen.org.au/2018/08/04/y2w/

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

Squelch in the Radio is for analog modes so we don’t annoy the humans. The SW Modem isn’t annoyed so I turn squelch off in the radio.

I'll have a look at the schematic and see if I can do the 5V pull-up mod on the DRAWS and see how that goes. -- Stuart Longland (aka Redhatter, VK4MSL) I haven't lost my mind... ...it's backed up on a tape somewhere.
