I found a btech aprs cable i had used between my phone running an aprs app to a boafeng…i plugged the cable into the digirig 3mm serial port and it works great running sprs pinpoint on my laptop.

Have you run Pinpoint APRS with your FT-2980? I have the the proper digirig cable, but darned if I can get Pinpoint to transmit via software modem 114, Direwolf, or anything else.
