The Universal QSYer KeyPad
Now works with both ICOM and selected Yaesu and Kenwood radios!
Now Available As An Easy to Build Kit!!!
The Universal QSYer allows users of virtually all ICOM radios, as well
as the Yaesu FT-817, FT-857, FT-897, FT857 radios and the Kenwood
TS-440 radio to directly enter frequencies and perform a range of
other functions. This keypad is indispensable to those operators who
own very small radios (such as the IC-706 series, the FT-100, and the
FT-817) that don't have their own panel keypads and those operators
who are visually impaired. Frankly, if you are operating one of these
radios in a mobile or portable environment without one of these
keypads, you are working way too hard.
The keypad performs a number of functions. First, of course, it allows
you to directly enter frequencies into the radio. You can enter the
frequency as either kHz or MHz and the keypad will figure out which
you intended. Thus, to QSY to 14.254 MHz, you can enter either 14254
or 14*254. You can also omit any trailing zeros. Thus, to go to the
bottom of the 40 meter band, you simply enter the 7 digit followed by
the enter key. The keypad also knows which mode to switch the radio
to. If you enter a frequency in the SSB portion of the 20 meter band,
it knows to switch the radio to USB. If you enter a frequency in the
SSB portion of the 40 meter band, it knows to switch to LSB. For the
CW band segments it automatically switches to CW. Enter a 2 meter
repeater frequency, and it switches to FM. Enter a frequency in the FM
broadcast band, and it switches to WFM. The keypad itself uses high
quality full-travel (not membrane) keys and emits a pleasant beep
whenever a key is pressed.
The keypad performs a number of other functions as well. When
operating with an ICOM or Kenwood radio, It can immediately select any
numbered memory in your radio. To go to memory number 15, for example,
you simply enter A15. (This feature is not available on the Yaesu
models because of the way Yaesu has designed it's computer control
system.) It also allows you to switch between the two VFOs on most
radios (not the IC-728 or some other older model ICOMs) with a single
keystroke. Simple keystrokes also allow you to switch between the VFO
and memory modes. When operating with a Yaesu radio, you can change
the repeater shift from the keypad, or step through the various modes
on the radio.
The keypad is designed to be operated from an internal 9 volt battery
when connected to an ICOM or Kenwood radio and requires no power at
all when connected to a Yaesu radio. It's power consumption is now so
low (under 10 microamps when idling) that it should run for at least
months on a single battery.
Switching the keypad between radios is quite simple. To change the
keypad to FT-817 (FT-897, FT 857) mode, for example, simply type:
**817. To switch to FT-100 mode, type: **100 To switch to ICOM mode,
type **0XX where XX is the CI-V address of your radio. Thus the keypad
can easily be carried from the IC-756 in your house, to the IC-706 in
your car to the FT-817 when you go backpacking without missing a beat.
The keypad includes one cable to connect to the computer jack on your
radio. When ordering, please specify whether you want the ICOM, Yaesu
or Kenwood cable. Additional cables are available for $5 each, if
ordered with the keypad.
