BTECH APRS-K1 Audio Cable

Aloha, does the BTECH APRS-K1 Audio Cable work with digirig. It would be nice not having to buy another cable. the tech uv 50 comes with a K1 adapter.

@WH6GXZ I do not know. I will take a look at my K1 APRS cable…

If it is compatible then it is purely accidental. The pinout would have to be compared.
Here’s the pinout of Digirig’s K1 data cable:

The pinout is different. baofang claims it will work on anything. I saw the guts of baofangs K1 APRS cable - results may vary…

One could pick up a couple TRRS breakout boards if we knew what the pinout was on the Btech cable.

Which ones do you use? I use these, but I’m not happy with them:

I haven’t tried yet. I just found out about them researching a way to use my 50x2 gen 1 as an AllStar node. I come across them being used as a cabel converter for A digirig/Mobilinkd with the attached video.
