I found the service manual which shows the circuit for the UT-118 contains a MAX232, so input to radio is RS232 levels. > > 2) Does the V82 support remote control via the 'clone' port, or is operation > of this port limited to when a special 'clone mode' is entered? I also found some programming software. By default it does not enable the DStar settings/options, but one would assume that its controlled by a bit set in the '.icf'. Can anyone forward me an example '.icf' from a unit with DStar fitted? Thanks, Simon.
