kat500/kpa500 with kenwood transceiver

Hello,
Is there a way using the data provided to have both the kpa500 and the
kat500 change bands using the kenwood data stream.
it was mentioned that there was an Arduino solution, any other thoughts?
thanks in advance

Re: kat500/kpa500 with kenwood transceiver

The KPA500 can be set up to either monitor the Kenwood's interaction with a logging program by "listening" on the serial port or by polling the Kenwood when you do not have a PC connected to the Kenwood. The KAT500 cannot do this and so can just change frequencies when it measures the transmission frequency.

Cheers, happy new year,

I have a KPA500 on my TS480 and the only hookup I have is PTT. I let the
KPA500 manage the band changes via RF sensing and I have never had an issue.

It just works as they say.
