Hi All. I am a newbie and am having fun operating remotely with a TS-480. It works super!!!
Thanks to third-party hardware/software there is limited controllability with such older radios like a TS-930S (PIEXX digital board) and TS-440 (2 internal chips and special cables). For example, the TS-930S/PIEXX allows VFO A/B change, pre-programmed frequency change and band change. The TS-440 allows those plus mode change. With those limitations, I can locally control either my TS-930 or TS-440 using Ham Radio Deluxe. However, the only thing I can get using RemoteRig is receiver audio.
I realize these radios were designed long before RemoteRig and the internal software/firmware in the RemoteRig was probably not designed for such early radios. I can't get Ham Radio Deluxe to start via RemoteRig. I do get receiver audio (simple on/off since the volume control is not controllable). PTT and transmit audio does not work.
Does anyone have any ideas or is that all I should expect from ancient radios. :)
Thanks in advance and 73, Harold W0HJW

Hi if you change to mode 3 it may work. In mode 4 the messages need to end with a ; to be sent. Maybe it's not the same protocol for the old ones.

Thanks Mike for your answer. I won't be at the remote QTH for another 3 weeks but I can try it with a TS-940 that I have here. I will let you know soon.
