Partly correct. Pressing the power button to turn off initiates a shutdown
procedure. Pin 8 is only grounded momentarily when you power on and does

remotely via Ham Radio Deluxe or another means. Looks like there has been some
posts on using serial activity as a trigger to turn on the radio. Just
wondering if there has been any progress in this area or if someone
You need to provide a way to ground pin 5 on the aux connector. I do this
with a remoterig interface. Any remote relay will work. This turns on the
rig then the rig stays on even if the closure is momentary. To turn it off
you need to send it the power down command via the command serial port. A
