have found that the Yaesu MH-48 DTMF mic used on the FT8800 and FT8900 series radio is going to be a very good fit with the BBB based nodes. This will allow for a "Local Control" similar to the old 6 wire local control remotes we used to wire up to the old Motorola and GE base stations. If you are running mobile, you could wire a Yaesu Mic to your URI, install the app to
your BBB node and have memory channels as well as "on the fly" connections to nodes not in your memory. </div><div id="yiv4109699452yui_3_16_0_1_1401939838679_1925"><br></div><div id="yiv4109699452yui_3_16_0_1_1401939838679_1926">The Yaesu Mic is not an analog DTMF mic, this is a digital based multi-function microphone, the radio control head generates the DTMF tones that are sent to the transmitter. By using these two digital control lines and the Matrix I found online, it will be a simple matter to wire the signals into the GPIO headers using the built in A/D converters and wiring in an LCD that talks to the BBB via serial data. </div><div id="yiv4109699452yui_3_16_0_1_1401939838679_1927"><br></div><div id="yiv4109699452yui_3_16_0_1_1401939838679_1928">I will update the group as this project develops... looking very promising </div></div><div id="yiv4109699452yui_3_16_0_7_1401939838679_7">Ron Simpson,<br>N6GKJ Amateur
