PL decode is done in the radio. You have to wire the hook switch (defeat it) someway but I did that so long ago I don't remember. Here's my simpleusb.conf as requested. I use the parallel port for IO. Don't let that confuse you. ; ; SimpleUSB configuration ; [general] [usb] pp2 = ptt pp3= out0 pp10 = cor eeprom=0 hdwtype=0 ; Leave this set to 0 for USB sound fobs modified using ; the instructions from usbfob.pdf.

Hey Tim, I have the Xcat and App_rpt talking together and I am able to move it around no problem. I am having trouble with taking it in and out of PL decode. I am using usbradio.conf instead of simpleusb, is that the trick? Could I get a copy of your simpleusb.conf for the xcat?

I saw some conversation about multiple syntors with xcats, like a low band and high band tethered together. Does that only work on the Doug Hall protocol?

Ok, makes sense. I was looking at your wiring diagram on xcat yahoo group that showed Data and Clock.

Nice! Thanks Tim. I just got the Xcat all wired up and I am able to control with the Xcat PC program. Do you have a pinout for how to connect the data lines to the Allstar PC's serial port?

Hello Everyone, I am wondering if anyone on the list has successfully integrated a Syntor X with an Xcat to app_rpt? I have 2m and a 10m/6m flavor. Would the 10m/6m have trouble?
