6300 and Tokyo High-power

Jean Drolet

It’s possible to connect my Tokyo hight-power hl-1.5k direct to flex6300 without DDutil

Hello Jean, You will need to set up the amplifier for Kenwood CAT using RS232C. Then you will need to get a FTDI Usb to serial adapter. Plug it in and under the USB cables menu configure this adapter in SmartSDR as a CAT cable. Then you can attach it to your amplifier as you would any kenwood Radio.

It’s possible without computer i use my maestro on remote

Ria

Yes. The usb cable connects to the radio. No computer is needed. I didn’t mention it but you also need rf in, antenna and ptt cables.

Are you using a Null Modem cable?  The THP requires a Null Modem RS-232 cable.  I made a simple adapter using a pair of DB-9 connectors back to back.

**** it's the correct cable ? 

Dick B

You can buy a Null Modem adapter to go between your cable and the THP amp.  Just make sure you get the proper male/female connections.  As I said earlier, I made one, but they are readily available on Amazon and other Web sites.

I just did this with a customer and we had to turn on AutoReport on SmartSDR USB/Advanced settings.
