But is it possible to use the internal GPS in the radio itself to be read by the python program. If so, could one install a lightweight pi package into a vehicle and have a mobile igate?

@user-oj1gi4ok1l26 күн бұрын
The SCU-20 doesn’t get used to update firmware, there’s a usb mini to USB A port at the front of the radio behind the face for firmware updates. And with the SCU-20 you can indeed send digital voice audio over wires X. This cable will allow you to get onto Wires X using an FTM-100, 200, 300. 400 all you need is to set up a wires x account, and a pc connected to broadband, you can only use the digital only rooms if you have the SCU-20 but you can upgrade to an SCU-40 which gives you an analog tail connected to the SCU-20 and then you can use any room in the wires x software with no HRI node needed. You run your Base radio (FTM-100-400) as a node using the SDU-20 connected from the DIN pin socket in the back of the radio plugged into the USB of your PC, you switch your radio on in PDN (personal digital node) mode run the wires x software and you’re in. You can even turn your node radio that’s connected to the PC as an access point for your FT-70 or FT-2D so you don’t have to be stuck to the PC, there’s a few ways of setting this up if you want to get on wires x but don’t want to spend $300 on an HRI200 wires x box. If you want to know more just search FTM-300 PDN mode.
