How To Get An External Display On Any Ham Radio

In this video I go over how to set up an SDR as a pan adapter for an external monitor on any ham radio with CAT control. this will work with Icom, Yaesu, kenwood and any other radio you can connect to a computer.
Down here ill list links for downloading the software used and the parts and products used to make this work

Nice video. Like see more of you operating SDR device you built for older and not so old radios without the waterfall.

I can show it on a 718. Probably the only
One I can show without a scope on the radio

Very good video, I am going to connect my Yaesu FT-891 to my SDRPlay, just ordered CAT control cable today for the FT-891. Thanks for sharing.

Thank you. Just make sure you use something on the antenna line or you will burn out the front end of the sdr when you transmit. Ask me how I know lol. Good luck let me know how it goes

@@SlowGoose Yes sir, I have the switch box you linked in your description. Everything is ready, just waiting on the cable. BTW - I like your concept of the DIY switch box, was it difficult to build? I do electronic repairs and am intrigued by your box. Keep up the good work, I subbed and look forward to your videos.

@@deankq4adj125thank you. All the box is is a rf tap and a relay that interrupts and grounds the sdr coax. I’ll make a video on the box but it’s not pretty yet.

@@SlowGoose That sounds great, I'm looking forward to that video.
