Im using Thetis and the OC port on my ANAN7000 to do the BCD connection to the VKAMP.
On the VKAMP I select ANAN/SunSDR and it uses the standard BCD mapping.
I thought someone had mapped the band data already for the I/O board, which youd have to load into the PICO and wire the internal header to DB9 using what ever pins you want. I obviously would wire the same callouts as my ANAN so I can swap the cable from my 7000, or one of my HL2’s to the AMP.
I kinda remember someone doing an implementation using the USB cable method….using a C232HM-DDHSL-0 which is USB to wire dongle that you terminate to a DB9 for the amp..
I use the 4 bcd outputs plus ground. I run the TX or EXT TX rca out to my tuner then the amp. You can activate say pin 5, 6 or 7 to do TX, but I left this the normal RCA out path for the Tuner as I mentioned. This way if the tuner sees a high swr and alarms – I break the TX to the amp…
Here is my OC Mapping on the Thetis, I was on 40m as you can see…
I set both the TX and RX sides as the AMP moves as soon as I change bands.
For the VK amp side…
A is Pin 1
B is Pin 6
C is pin 2
D is Pin 7
GND is Pin 3
TX if you wish is Pin 5
