Homebrew DV Node Adapter to Icom ID-RP2C interface

This is the small interface board I threw together to connect a Satoshi DV Node Adapter based repeater to an Icom ID-RP2C D-Star controller.
It's built around a 74AC541 Line Driver Buffer integrated circuit with an inverter for the RE/COS signal from the DV Node Adapter.

Do you have a schematic yet for this interface?

@dokcopy As I cannot post a direct link... Google "vk5rex" and "squarespace" to find the VK5REX web page. In the downloads section you will find the info you need.

Hi Eric, thanks for the comment. I have use KiCad to draw up a schematic and I am almost "real soon now" ready to release an implementation document that will help those wishing to replicate what I have done. I'll put a link to it here (and on my other related YouTube videos, and on the related Yahoo Groups.

Stay tuned!!

Wow, is that what I sound like?

I did say, "It's working quite well" a number of times didn't I??

Oh well... you get the message!

The schematic is a work in progress, not that it's a complex circuit... it's just that I don't have any software suitable to do the job properly.

Michael.

Hi Michael,

very nice work. Bit of an inspiration. Don't surprised if you start seeing some others emulating your efforts really soon ;-)

PS: can you help us out with _which_ SRM9000 models you use please, so we can search for them? Cheers!

Looks pretty neat Michael. Good Job! Those Icom service manuals are torture aren't they? :-) I made use of them when I built my TX/RX daughterboard mod for the RF stack modules. I used the free version of Eagle Cad to do my schematic capture and board layout. A little learning curve, but extremely flexible. Are you planning to publish the schematics? If so, I'd be happy to draw it out for you and looks like something I might like to play with.

-> Great work Michael ! ! !

This solution must be great more explored so to help to all the radio-amateurs!

Dispose of the help of the Brazilian friends to develop more experiments on the system DSTAR.
