FT911A Transmit icon hangs

I solved the issue of the transmit icon staying in blinking mode and not due to hanging PTT or others </p

Procedure:

  • Switch OFF your FT991A.
  • Power and USB have to be physically disconnected. Pull the connectors.
  • Wait for 30 seconds
  • Re connect the PWR and USB and switch the FT991A to ON

That’s it !

RS232-TTL

Once upon a time somewhere in 2015 i bought a couple of these little converters RS232 tot TTL.

Here is how they work

From the RS232 Port – RX, TX and GND.  Thats the -> -<and the – signs.  Easy enough

– GND

-> RX

<- TX

On the TTL (Arduino)  side – DO NOT USE 5V use 3.3V as this toasts the device and heats up and like tops itself.  It certainly got very toasty when I put 5V across it.  This could be because I messed up somewhere in the wiring but it certainly works well for me.  I can also use the SoftwareSerial library as well so I don’t need to use TX/RX on the TTL Serial pins 0 and 1

So TTL is

– GND

-> – PIN X

<- PIN Y

For my device I used PIN 0 and PIN 1 – TX/RX – but I guess you can use other pins.

Hope this helps – it does work!

Openwrt/Lede & APRX

Just before years end i have compiled the latest OpenWRT LEDE & APRX, and added OpenVPN and OpenSSL to it.  The files can be found in the download section. If you have another router, then drop me a line, or call me at DMR at 204 / 2044 or 2045.

Latest Openwrt – APRX images – 19-05-2017

I have added new firmware packages and the latest APRX package in the download section. In case you need firmware for another router, please let me know and I see what I can do.

To install just the package, do as follows….
ssh into your machine (normally something like sss root@(ip-of-machine)
Then change into the tmp directory and execute:

/etc/init.d/aprx stop
wget https://www.pa0esh.com/svn/aprx_2.9.0-Stable_brcm47xx.ipk
chmod 755 aprx_2.9.0-Stable_brcm47xx.ipk
opkg install aprx_2.9.0-Stable_brcm47xx.ipk

In case the installer tells you that you have already the latest package, change the command into:
opkg install aprx_2.9.0-Stable_brcm47xx.ipk –force-download

Erik, pa0esh
