I saw your request for help with 9600 baud on the FT-726, that is what I use here with a PacComm external 9600 baud modem and it works well or at least I think it does. I have only been on the high speed bird for about a week now. The following info was sent to me some time ago by one of the chaps stateside and it seems he obtained it from one of the chaps in JA land. I did the mod exactly as it is described, the only thing extra I did was to add a small relay to automatically switch to between Satellite and Simplex, I key the relay from the 8v line that gets switched by the satellite switch when you select either of the satellite modes. I picked up this voltage on Pin 6 of plug J05 on the satellite board. I used a small 5v SPDT, TTL compatible relay with a 47 ohm resistor in series with the coil and it works fine. The TX audio is wired to the common, the TX module modulator to the normally closed and the Sat module modulator to the normally open and it works fine. I used small sheilded wire and mounted the relay with a small piece of double sided tape. The following is the info on where to pick up the RX and TX audio in the radio. The following was received from JA6FTL, I have not yet got around to doing it. ======================================================================== Hello Tom, My mods to FT-726 is as follow. 1. RX data connection RX signal is drawed from the junction R44-DO4(1S188) with 10K ohm resistor. It must be connected to RX in of G3RUH modem 2. TX data injection You must inject both TX unit and Satellite unit if you need full duplex operation ( example for uosat4/5 ). The TX data injection point is DO5(FC-53)-C27 in TX unit and DO6(Fc-53)-C25 in SAT unit. You may be able to direct connect from TXD out of G3RUH modem as DC decoupling is in the modem board. 3. You need selection SW for TXD injection to select sinplex/full duplex operation. 73s. sueo @ uo-14, ao-16, lo-19, FO-20 ========================================================================= 73 Tom K8TL That was the info received from Tom K8TL. Hope it works for you and all the best from Clarence ... VE1HD -=>
