Bluetooth module for FT-817

Unread post by NN7M »

I found a ready made Bluetooth module that plugs into the ACC port on my Yaesu FT-817. It came at a low price, so I bought it to try.

It is powered my the rig, and has a LED that flashes when plugged in. I can find it in the Adafruit Bluetooth Config app, as well as in the Mac Bluetooth dialog. However when I scan for it in RumlogNG, it is not found. Is there something I can do to get this module to work?

The ebay listing is here:
https://www.ebay.com/itm/314501871719

Information on the bluetooth chipset is here:

From the product listing:

CAT to Bluetooth Adapter conveter for YAESU FT-817 FT-857 FT-897 FT897

Product introduction:
Main function: Replace the YAESU tc-62 computer cable in YAESU FT-817 FT-857 FT-897 with wireless Bluetooth (FT-817 machine has been used and tested), and control the 8X7 series radio by using Android mobile phone or computer via Bluetooth
Default baud rate: 9600 Bluetooth connection password: 1234


Thanks for any help,

Ryan.

No, only Bluetooth Low Energy is supported.
