RFH-2

Remote Control unit compatible with most modern Yaesu radios. Includes Schematics, Gerber Files and Board Design.

What is this?

This is a remote control that is compatible with most modern and recent Yaesu radios. It mimicks the same functionality of Yaesu FH-2 remote control, at a fraction of the cost ane with a enormous cool factor: YOU CAN ACTUALLY BUILD IT!

Check how Jim N5JGE actually built something really nifty without the need of an enclosure for the board!

How does the board looks like?

This is the board layout in its full glory (slightly changed from FH-2, because... usability++):

Did you prototype it?

Yup. Picture below: RFH-2 Prototype

What are the compatible radios?

Yaesu FT-991, FT-991A, FT-950, FTDX-9000, FTDX-5000, FTDX-3000, FT-2000, FTDX-1200, FT-1000MP

Nice, I liked it! How do I get one?

  1. Download the Gerber .zip file

  2. Send the Gerber ZIP to any PCB Print Service. I have used JLCPCB, they are dead cheap - Paid $2 for 5 boards

  3. Buy the switches and the resistors. The most critical part here are the switches: The board has the footprints for this specific switch, which is Digikey Part EG6117-ND. The Resistors and Capacitor are through-hole and the values are in the Schematic.

  4. How do I wire it? For wiring, wire the tip of a standard 3-pin audio plug and the GND part of the plug. Leave the center floating.

Of course you can also download Eagle 9 and play with the schematics and PCB layout in Design folder.
