I desperately need the Ameritron part number RJ-USB6000 to interface my 6500 to the ARI 500 connected to my ALS 1300 amp. These cables are not in stock at MFJ nor HRO. If you have one surplus to your needs please contact me at N5TF at Yahoo don't com.

Ameritron has just notified me that they have shipped the RJ-USB6000 cable to me.0

I can report that the RJ-USB6000 cable works as advertised. That cable and the ARI-500 gives you full auto band switching. You will also need an RCA cable from the TX1 jack on the Flex to the Relay jack on the amp, as well as an RCA cable between the Flex ALC jack and the ALC Jack on the amp. I did find out that the Default TX profile does not activate TX1 so select SO2R or make up your own profile.0

How do I test that the FTDI is working correctly ? I cannot get the amp to switch, not sure if it is the FTDI or the RJ45 board on the amp ? ARI 500 is new .
Please help w7nik..0 -
the ari has two lights .. both should be on solid .. you can also go to usb cables in smartsdr and run the log and see what is being output ..

lights are solid, the cables from the amp , should go to the amp ports on the ARI 500? conflicting information:( to the remote using the c232HM EDHSl-o
my settting are BCD tX ant, it worked the first day couple weeks age ,0 -
the cable from the flex plugs into the front ..
the amp cables plug into the back .. i have a als-1300 ..
i dont know what the c232HM EDHSl-o is ..
0 -
yes that is what i have, the BCD data is not telling the 1300 the right data .I have the FTDI cable , i would like to find out if the RJ45 board on the amp in not working or the FTDI cable . challenging0
-
did you buy the ready made cable ?? i made my own .. are you sure a and b cables are not reversed ?? other than that i would have no idea .. sorry .. good luck ..
