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.

2 =

3 =

1<br>
4 = 9600 (Not used)
--<br>
5 = Audio RX audio output --->
21<br>
6 = SQL (goes high (5V) when RX unsquelches) 8<br>
<br>
If hooking radio to URIx or FOB for Allstar set carrier detect to
USB not USBinvert<br>
<br>
I have FT-1500's in service for links as well as simplex nodes and
all work great using the PS2 Mini Din<br>

<div>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.<br>

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.<br>

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.<br>
<br>
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.<br>
<br>
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. <br>
<br>
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.<br>
<br>
In the future we hope to have audio processing
capability added to the code to help fix some of
these problems. <br id="FontBreak">
