IZ2LXI : How to use the Android app RS-MS1A with "older" D-Star radios IC-2820, IC-92, ID-51, ID-5100) with the serial cable As of version of the 1.1 Icom app RS-MS1A it becomes possible to use it jointly with one of the "older" d.star radio via serial cable. The "data chain" to create it's not overcomplicated, but it can imply a bit of luck in finding the right components: • Telephone or tablet : • it must be an "android 4.x" with USB OTG (Usb On the Go) support. this is a key aspect to make it work with the serial adapter. • • Cable to connect the phone to the serial adapter • it MUST be an"USB OTG" cable (it.wikipedia.org/wiki/ USB_On-The-Go) i.e. cheaper USB reduction from USB A to mini USB DO NOT WORK WITH OTG . • • USB-TO Serial adapater: • it shall be a model recognized by the phone/tablet. sometimes different adpaters works with different phones -- it can be the same one you use with d-rats • • reduction cable compatible with your radio - lately it's a female-serial to mini jack (2.5mm) like the one you use with d-rats How to use it 1 first of all... read the manual of the app and of your radio 2 configure the radio as you would do for d.rats (you can test it with d.rats and pc) 3 install the android RS-MS1A app from the app store 4 connect the serial adapter to the phone using the otg cable. the phone will promt you to launch an app... select the RS-MS1A -- if this doesnt happen: • feel lucky • try with a different OTG adapter • check that it all works with d-rats and pc • try with different serial adapter • try with different phone once the app loads and gives no error of "no radio" 1 open the RS-MS1A app and select "other radio" 2 be sure to insert "mycall" and "your call" in the proper fields otherwise it will not work.
