Hello,
I own a VR76N handheld FM portable radio. Does Digirig has a cable that works with this radio? And what kind of serial configuration I need? At present time my digirig is set to RS232 but I think I’ll need to change to logic levels?
Thanks, Phil ON4VP
i don’t have that radio but from websearching it appears there is no ‘remote control’ via serial cable so you won’t have to change rs232 to logic levels.
remote control/cat functions of the digirig mobile aren’t used in this case.
(channel programming over a cable might be supported but it looks like it is handled via bluetooth as is connection to the TNC)
as for the audio/ptt cable, i can’t tell if that radio uses a kenwood/baofeng cable or a motorola 2 pin model.
sorry i couldn’t be more help.
good luck

This looks like a rebranded BTECH UV-PRO so should be the same accessory port.
Review picture in Amazon listing for BTECH show what appears to be Motorola M1 style connector:
Additionally, there is a listing for the adaptor from M1 to K1 claimed to be compatible with this radio:
I would try this Digirig cable with it:
Owning one of these myself, I can confirm that it’s not the Kenwood spacing that most of the HT’s are and an adapter is required.

Thank you for the info. The alternative choices for connectors with a narrower spacing are:
I just had a thought…
The VGC VR-N76 has a built-in TNC that is fully accessible via bluetooth. I connect to mine via bluetooth for Winlink and APRS without the need for the DigiRig.
Not knowing what your plans are, you may not need the cable etc.

They use a M1 conenctor but with their own pinout which they won’t provide. VGC themselves also provide an adapter on their website to a K1 connection which should work with the Baofeng HT cables I presume.
