[arm-allstar] UV-5R Connection Points

[allstarlink at mcleanzone.com]

I guess all I really want is a good 2 Meter HT alternative to the 70 CM
888s.

 

Thank you,

I have found the UV-5R to be a terrible radio as a node radio. It gets hot
quickly even in low power. The BF-888S works very well and gets just warm in
low power under heavy use.

See http://kp4tr.org/?page_id=335 for details on BF-888S (BF-777 and BF-666
is the same).

Just a suggestion but the BF666 or BF888 make very inexpensive node radios
that work very well. Rather than rip into your uv5r you could get an 888 for
$17 from Amazon delievered in a few days. On any of these radios you have to
go inside to get COS so while you are in there you mine as well get the
other signals also, rather than use the mic connector. Taking the audio from
the speaker output is not a good idea for a number of reasons. The volume
control will vary the level, the distortion is higher. Leaving everything
intact means you could easily return the radio to stock. See:

Does anyone know the connection points to hook up a UV-5R to a DMK
Engineering URI for use with an AllStar node?

 

I want to hook up a UV-5R the same as I did on this project.

COS - Pin 2 on the audio chip

PTT - ?

Audio out to URI - ?

Audio in from URI - ?

 

Thank you,
