Good morning,
I just purchased a RS232 Digirig along with the 9600 Baud cable to use with my FTM6000R via a Raspberry Pi.
I am unable to get the radio to key up, but I can see that I’m getting audio from the radio if I start Fldigi. I have been using RTS for PTT.
I followed the instructions in this post. The radio did not key up when I shorted R2 and S with a jumper and I’ve found that it didn’t key up. I also connected the radio to another Digirig that I use with a different radio and got the same outcome (again, audio in but no PTT).
The thing I don’t understand about the other forum post is if they’re using the 1200 or 9600 cable so I can test continuity between pins. Is it possible that there’s a setting in the radio that I need to enable to use data modes?
Thank you for getting back to me so quickly.
When I ground the PTT ring on the black wire the radio keys up (this is because of a misunderstanding on my part, I thought I was supposed to test with the green cable).
All of the wires in the cable have continuity.
This brings me to another question though - is RTS the correct method to use? Should I have gone with the logic levels unit instead of RS232?
