I have a spare Radioddity DB25-D that I’m debating on using in a go kit. Any idea if any of the prebuilt cable would work with the digirig? It has a RJ45 mic plug in the front in addition to a “Speaker/Mic” 2 prong plug on the side.
The manual for the transceiver has this:
The Baofeng cable should do the business then. Please report how it goes if you decide to give it a go.
The pinout for RJ-45 connector doesn’t look like anything common, which is a weird call. Everyone and their sister use the same connector and insist up with their own pinouts…
During my research I was leaning towards the fact the Baofeng Cable could work and will give that a try. If I get good results I may make a cable for use with the RJ45 connector.
I’m debating on building a go kit box with this radio so the RJ45 would allow me to mount the radio below the panel minus the control head.
Hello K04RJX,
I too am looking to use my Radioddity DB25-D radio to do Winlink messaging with Vara FM.
Did you have any luck using the Baofeng cable that K0TX suggested to you?
Thank you.
I was able to use the baofeng black cable plugged into the db-25d with soundmodem and pinpoint aprs successfully.
I too have used the black Baofeng K1 cable supplied by Digirig with the SoundModem software to successfully send WinLink messages via VHF packet. I can now use my Radioddity DB25-D radio to send WinLink messages.
I set my radio to VFO, I set the frequency to the RMS with no tone (Simplex) and I set squelch to 1.
Good luck and have fun.
Is there anyway to get your soundmodem settings and the settings needed to hook it up to pinpoint?
PTT set to RTS ?
