microphone connector external speaker connector). You need a TTL-to-RS232 (PC serial) OR TTL-to-USB (universal serial) LEVEL converter cable - that has the proper connector for your radio (e.g.
G4hfq serial#
It usually is a connector used for other purposes (microphone, external spearker, external option connector).Ī majority of manufacturers provide a TTL level serial connection from the uProcessor (that you desire to program or configure) - this is VERY COMMON in the micro-controller/robotics hobbies/industry.
G4hfq how to#
Quick analog - your original question is like asking how to hook up a hard drive to a sound card port - silly, right?ĮACH Radio has a different method of providing a "connection point" between the radio and your PC running the G4HFQ. This software provides a USER FRIENDLY (Windows) interface to configuration the micro-processor inside the radio that handles memories, PL tones, etc. You have asked about G4HFQ radio programming software. This ISO 6-pin mini Din jack has NOTHING to do with programming (uProcessor connection with the radio). The 6-pin mini DIN is the AGREED standard (ISO) - so that it operates identical on a Kenwood, Icom or Yaesu radio. Until about 15 years ago - the amateur radio manufacturers used different connector and pin assignments for DATA connections (Packet, Digital modes, etc.) to the radio. Let's start with the 6-pin mini-DIN connector on the back panel.
SO, we need to teach you what you never learned (or have forgotten). You problem is a result of NOT understanding how your radio works - the purpose (what they do) of Input / Output ports of the FT-8800 and the purpose of PC bard programming software (memories and configurations).
