[OKDXA] Yaesu FT1000MP MK5 question

[Perry Jenkins]

RigExpert had a one time some hardware setups that would allow remote use of older radios that had rig control but no out of the box remote capabilities. You have to go to the RigExpert site to see these. They also have what I called magic boxes that allow attachment of rig specific interface cables the system allows fSK, AFSK, sound card digital modes and CW keying with K1EL. The box is generic with a 25 pin computer connection type port which accepts a cable with the appropriate 25 pin connector for the magic box end and appropriate connectors for the radio including remote cable connectors, KEY, connectors, etc. Also, K1EL offers a keyer  that can be controlled over the internet so you can use a keyer placed at the radio location to be keyed via a keyer and paddle remotely over the internet allowing manual sending of morse code. Maybe RigExpert offers that now. There “magic boxes have built in K1EL keyers. Good Luck.
