Found a PS2 with male on each end on eBay... cut in half, now have two
cables to use. Works real nice; also used pin 5 for the audio. Lots of gain
now.
Thanks all,

Well that was a mess... sorry everyone.
FT-1500 URIx

1= TX audio input to radio mic 22
2= Ground 20
3= PTT 1
4= 9600 Baud (unused) --
5= RX audio output from radio 21
6= SQL (goes High (5V) when RX unsquelches) 8
If hooking radio to URIx or FOB for Allstar set carrier detect to USB not

Bob,
I have found it difficult to build a PS2 connector going to the rear of the
FT-1500. The easiest way for me to to deal with the FT-1500 was to find a
PS2 keyboard extension cable (junk store or recycle) and cut off the female
end to expose the 6 wires and route them to the URIx, modified USB FOB or
any controller you might use. The FT-1500 does not need to be put into the
packet mode for the the rear connector signals to be active. The 9600 Baud
Pin (4) is basically discriminator audio and unused in this case. Use the
1200 baud pin (5) as the RX audio to feed the URIx.Â

I have FT-1500's in service for links as well as simplex nodes and all work
great using the PS2 Mini Din
Good Luck

I built a cable with that configuration, that did not work. perhaps I have a
cable issue. I'll check it out. COR works fine. And yes, I have it setup for
the radio to detect PL, but it is turned off till I"m ready to install
because my service monitor can't get through because it does not generate
the sub audio PL signal.
Thanks,

Bob,
Using the FT-1500 if you use the 6 pin Packet connector you will have all
the signals needed with enough drive to run most things. Choose 1200 baud
and let the radio do the tone decode if needed.

Attempting to use simpleusb-tune-menu on a BBB using a service monitor (3
kHz deviation, 1 kHz modulation). The output from the radio (FT-1500M) is
the speaker audio out of the back. It seems that full volume (quite loud on
the speaker) is not coming close to enough signal.

This is using 999. If this is linear, or close, then I doubt the 2x gain amp
will provide enough. I'm not sure what I've done wrong. The input to URIx is
pin 21, with 19 gnd. The iaxrpt level is about 2/3 max.
Â
Any thoughts?

Thanks,

I find that voice levels are highly dependent on the person speaking, the
rig they are using, the node radio, and probably a dozen other factors.
Generally setting the audio so you see peaks just above 5 khz should be OK.
Some radios have better limiting than othesr and the peaks are well defined.
On some you can see peaks go well above what you would call max but the
average is much lower. One thing you don't want to do is have it set too
high. Digital distortion is very annoying. I often use iaxrpt's level meter
for adjusting or looking at multiple users for comparison. If you are
filling the iaxrpt bar graph to 9o-95% without hitting the edge you are
good.
I often find that one node that shows 80% peaks actually sounds louder than
one that shows 95% peaks. Audio characteristicsome of them to have a decent
level of audio and then you have breath noise.
If you use a wide range of radios that you use to talk to your node it is
best to check them all. You may have to come up with an average setting so
that the loudest radio does not distort.
Talk into the radios the way you would when you are not thinking. If you
adjust it talking right into the mic and then when you aren't thinking you
usually talk 2 inches away the level is not going to be right.
In the future we hope to have audio processing capability added to the code
to help fix some of these problems.
