Baofeng HT to TNC PI wire?

[Andy Sayler]

So in the effort of moving forward and getting things up and running I was planning on doing some testing with the TNC PI while hooked to my Baofeng radio. I picked up the necessary components to make a custom wire. If I'm not mistaken I think I remember someone else that was trying to do something similar and having trouble with the pinout. I started searching the introwebs and found some crazy diagrams. This is the link to one of the sites that I found.

The above picture is what I found.. Now I,m no electrical guy but I hope it doesn't need all that rigamarole...

maybe this will make more sense to one of you..

What do you think.. Am I getting warmer or still ice cold!

thats the actual pinout (that I know of) for the UV-5 series....

the main connections you will need:

2.5mm: base: gnd, tip: speaker (this is the audio IN on a tnc)
3.5mm: base: PTT, RING: mic (this is the audio OUT on a tnc)

super simple =)

Sweet! well that should simplify things a bit. Thanks for the push in the right direction Art... hopefully I can have all these things together and test its functionality by the next meeting!

also the schematic you posted was for programming the radio using the rs232 type port, you can get fairly decent usb programming cables for $10-20 for just about every rig that does computer programming =)

For those of us with more projects than time, Baofeng now sells a
ready made 'droid to Baofeng cable for sound card packet systems.

Although… creating an adapter for the Pi/UDRC and is MUCH easier than having to deal with creating your own custom cable for the radio end,
