Have you looked into the arcom controllers, they have remote base radio control. I use one with my yaesu 857 and it works great. All modes. All bands. That was until my receiver died

I doubt it, since the processor is ~90% of the unit. My approach would be reverse-engineering, so there would be no dependency on the old, obsolete hardware (must be the reason they no longer sell the unit: processor no longer available & no easy migration path to new hardware). >Yeah, you could design your own but it's a lot of trouble >when every mfgr probably has a different format, connector, >data signaling level/method. Yes, this would be the obvious hard part. My immediate interest is to "decode" the data stream & establish the protocol coming out of the controller. Once that's done, each radio's control format can be individually addressed. >Probably better to let the various Repeater Controller Mfgrs >have a go at building it into their controllers.
