How do I set up PowerSDR IF/Stage to connect to my Yaesu FT-950?

[Bob_KW4CQ]

I have installed the latest ver. of PowerSDR/IF-Stage on my PC but
when examining the "Radio Model" pull down tab I don't see any options
to select a Yaesu FT-950 or FT-2000, only K3, Kenwood and Flex
radios. How do I set up to connect to my FT-950 with its IF-2000
interface board to my E-MU 0202 modem?

Thanks for any help with this.

73, Bob KW4CQ

Hi Bob,

I have a TS-2000 and it does not have native serial support in
PowerSDR/IF-Stage either. What you have to do is set up Ham Radio
Deluxe first and run it before running PSDR/IF each time. PSDR/IF will
communicate with your rig through HRD.
In the Setup/Hardware Config tab of PSDR/IF choose SDR-1000 as the
Radio Model.
In the Setup IF/Rig Connection tab choose Ham Radio Deluxe as the Rig
Type.
It should work then (of course you will have to setup everything else
to be correct for your configuration too).
It looks like HRD supports the FT-950 but not the FT-2000.

Maybe the developers here can shed some more light on the subject for
you.

Unfortunately, Scott and I don't have access to a Yaesu to add native support.  So, the only way to control your rig is through PowerSDR/IF Stage connected to Ham Radio Deluxe.

Chad,

I have a TS-2000 that I modified for a 10.695 Mhz If Tap and buffer
amp running to a Softrock v9. It works well with PowerSDR/IF-Stage
through HRD. I am a C# developer too. Any chance we could work
together to add native support for the TS-2000?

Thanks,
George, W5JDX

Guys,

The FT-2000 is fully supported by HRD. PSDR/IF talks to HRD. HRD talks to
the rig. Not quite as perfect as a direct control - but certainly
functional in any practical sense.

FT-950 and FT-2000 are virtually identical to Kenwood up to a point.
You might want to try the Kenwood choices first to see if they work. I
plan to add FT-950/2000 to LP-Bridge, but that's a lot more work than
adding them to PowerSDR. LP-Bridge needs to support ALL of the available
commands, whereas PowerSDR only needs to support a handful.

In the meantime, HRD should work. FT-2000 should work with FT-950 selection.

We could maybe do something like that.  I would suspect we could just derive from our base Kenwood class for implementing TS-2000 support.  I can't imagine it would be too much work.

Since I have a TS-2000 with IF output and Visual Studio 2007 I would
be glad to take a stab at it if you could supply some source and some
direction.

Thanks,
George, W5JDX

You mean 2008?

PowerSDR is an open source project.  This means PowerSDR/IF Stage is, as well.  You can find the source under SVN control.

http://code.google.com/p/powersdr-if-stage/source/checkout

We are working on a branch called if-stage.

When I get some free time, I could probably give you some pointers at what classes to look at and which I think you'll have to subclass.  May not be able to get to that till Sunday, though, but at least you can try to set up the source code and see if you can compile and run a development build.

Alex VE3NEA, the author of CW Skimmer, provides his rig interface as a
DLL. It's called OmniRig. It's not open source, but available free to
developers. All that's required is an attribution on the rig interface
page. I think that the freely available version is the same as the one
included in Skimmer, but I'm not sure of that. I have been thinking of
adding OmniRig to several of my programs. It might be an easy way to add
almost any rig to PowerSDR-IF.

I am also looking at a generic version of LP-Bridge which would connect
to any rig and provide the same linking to PowerSDR-IF as the current
LP-Bridge. It would not work exactly the same way as the current LPB as
far as the port sharing goes, but would still provide full comms to one
virtual port app, and limited port access to others (freq/mode/etc.), as
well as hardware linking to SteppIR, etc.

Oops. Yes, 2008.
I've never done anything with SVN control so it may take me over the
weekend to figure it out anyway. I'll get started poking around
though.

Thanks,
George, W5JDX

Which SVN client would you recommend?
I found AnkhSvn, which looks like it may be good. However A friend
Recommends Tortoise.

Thanks,
George

[Chad Gatesman]

I use the command-line Subversion usually.  Tortoise is a Windows shell based client which is very good.  AnkhSvn is just a Subversion plugin for Visual Studio.

I actually have all three installed on my workstation for my work.

[Bob Cunnings]

RapidSVN is worth a look:

http://rapidsvn.tigris.org/

It's what I use most since I prefer stand-alone clients rather than
integration into Windows File Explorer (a la TortoiseSVN). My next
preference is the command line version.
