[arm-allstar] chinese mobile radio??

Fri Apr 26 12:28:33 EDT 2019

Here’s a link to the circuit I posted a while back that works great with no mods to the radio using the UV5 and several other radios, including an Anytone 868 DMR HT. In the subdirectory “Flip_Layout” are pictures where I printed and etched a board for it. In the “PCB-02” folder is pictures of the same with a commercial made PCB. I had 15 made and still have a few left if anybody is interested in getting one. Been using a couple for a while now without any issues.

Tapping from the High side of volume control and mic line with some resistors to wiring COR right the op amp. I don’t need to worry about volume control on the knob, I adjust in the menu. Actually I took my volume knob off to fit it all in a small case.
