: RE: [Repeater-Builder] Re: Has anyone interfaced a Yaesu FT-8500 to be a remote base on a repeater? Alinco almost got it right, at least with the DR599 and possibly the DR600. The radio can be remote controlled if it has the DTMF decoder option board via RF. I think you can also remote

I would say that depends on when the radio was made. Older Yaesu's, such as the FT-757 and even the FT-727 had a CAT interface which allows data from a computer to set the operating parameters of the radio. Other radios in the Yaseu line, Such as the FT-5100 have a few lines for the buttons, like

It should be possible to emulate the hand mic and control the radio. You would need some serious test equipment and it may not be worth the effort though. It should also be possible to piggy back a circuit into either the mic or the radio front pannel as well if disecting the protocol is not an
