[arm-allstar] Baofeng 888 Allstar

[Bill WD9EQD]

Andy,

 

I used an USB cable for my 888 node.  I soldered the wires directly to the

888 circuit board and put the resistors and capacitor in the DB-25 Hood.  

I kept the cable fairly short and it works very well.

Andy,

In the photos I used Belden 5 wire shielded cable because I had some on hand
but it needs only 4 wires and a ground (COS, PTT, RX-AUD, TX-AUD, GND) so an
old USB cable could be used. They are generally 4 wires shielded. The shield
being the ground. You might have some other similar cables laying around you
could repurpose.  It should definitely be shielded and if you are using the
shield for the ground make sure it is connected at both ends.

Hi Doug,

 

What are you using for the cable that you are soldering to the 888? I have a
male DB25 connector, but I'm unsure as to what kind of cable to buy to
solder between the DB25 and the 888. It only needs 6 wires right?

 

Thanks & 73,

Andy

This is a take-off of W0FCM's page also linked on hamvoip.org
<http://hamvoip.org>  but just done slightly differently.

It is working well.
