Using the TGXL and PGXL with a Yaesu radio

W2PP

in Tuner Genius XL

So, I see in the manual I can use a straight DB9 to DB9 from the radio ....FTDX101MP......to the amplifier. But, now how do I provide that data to the TGXL? In other words, there is only one DB9 connector on the radio and amp, so how do I daisy chain the TGXL into the mix? Is there a way to somehow split the DB9 cable and have it feed both simultaneously?

Thanks

Peter

    You could bring Yaesu CAT into PC via the radio’s USB cable then use a program such as Virtual Serial Port Emulator (VSPE) to set up a serial port splitter then serial port bridle to two USB to serial cables, one for amp, one for tuner.

    Hey Dave thanks great response. I already pull the data out of the radios's into the PC so your idea is pretty good. I have that program already but hadn't used it in a while. Thanks for that one.

    No problem. Feel free to reach out if you need help.

    Email me. I have a document I wrote quite a few yeats ago that covers what you want to do with VSPE.

    My e-mail is good on QRZ.

    Hi, were you able to get it to work?

Rich Text Editor. To edit a paragraph's style, hit tab to get to the paragraph menu. From there you will be able to pick one style. Nothing defaults to paragraph. An inline formatting menu will show up when you select text. Hit tab to get into that menu. Some elements, such as rich link embeds, images, loading indicators, and error messages may get inserted into the editor. You may navigate to these using the arrow keys inside of the editor and delete them with the delete or backspace key.
