An interface cable for connecting Chinese and Kenwood HTs to smartphones for APRS use

Описание: I recently purchased a very interesting cable from AliExpress, one end is the connector that is found on the usual array of cheap Chinese HTs and some Kenwood HTs as well (not sure if recent Kenwood HTs use it), the same connector is also found on some CB radios as well such as the Thunderpole T-3000 so in theory it can be used there but I don't believe APRS is used on CB by hobbyists.

The setup is simply plug the smartphone end into a smartphone or even a tablet as in my case, if required via the supplied adaptor that swaps the ground and mic terminals in the plug on that end. then the radio end into any compatible radio with VOX turned on, I found setting 2 on a Wouxun KG-UVD1P works (see bonus footage at end of video) but your setup and experience my vary.

You can get the cable from here:https://www.aliexpress.com/item/40010...

Some people who have reviewed the product suggest it could also be used for Zello interfacing which probably would work as all it does is passes audio from the mobile device to the radio. I may try this at a later date though I primarily bought this for APRS use.
