Need a high power rig for your DigiPi?

[Dave Christensen]

Here is something I found out yesterday.  A couple years ago I purchased a Btech UV-50X2 Mobile radio for my "Event Radio".  This is a 50 Watt VHF/UHF radio with four channels of concurrent receive making it useful when needing to monitor multiple frequencies at the same time.

It came with a RJ45 "Y" cable that splits the mic jack into a copy of the Mic jack AND a Kenwood K1 connector that is so popular with Chinese and other HT radios.  By setting one parameter on the radio (#61 Ear) to on you get all the connections in the K1 connector to control this radio.

I use the USB AIOC adaptor plugged into the "Y" cable Digipi is very happy with this radio.  I turned down the squelch level to allow weaker received signals to be decoded.

I thought you might want to know.
