Title: Way to Run N1MM on FT 857 with detached head
Post by: KQ0C on 2013-11-04, 05:50:17

I have everything working well with an 857 running with the remote head on mode 15. I see that yo can get Kenwood radios to run N1MM in such a set up. Is there a way to do this with the 857. It would need to respond to the detached head, but report frequency back through a second serial channel I suspect.

Yes you can use com 2 for that. Connect a CT-62 from Radio-RRC com2 to the radio CAT port. It must be a CT-62 powered from the radio, cheap copies powered from the PC will not work. Set com 2 to mode 3 and set the correct  serial settings in both units. Connect the PC with N1MM to COM2 on the Control-RRC.
