Pigtail Baud Rate Change
The Pigtail ships with the baud rate set to 4800. You can modify this. You'll need to enter config
mode of the Wi-Fi module to make the change. This can be done within HamLog using the
Terminal button from Tools->Pigtail. Once you're connected to the Pigtail via the Terminal enter
these commands and hit send on each one.
$$$
CMD> set uart baud 38400
CMD> save
CMD> reboot
After hitting send on "set uart..." you should get back a response of "AOK". You'll lose
connectivity to the Pigtail when you reboot. You'll need to modify your radio's baud rate so they
can talk. NOTE: This will not speed up HamLog getting the freq/mode/options. That happens via
Timer that sends to TCP to get to the Wi-Fi module. Once it's in the Wi-Fi module, then the baud
rate comes into play.
Radio Connections
The Pigtail has been tested with the following radios. Note that the Pigtail ships with a default
baud rate on the UART of 4800.
Elecraft K2
The KIO2 module has a fixed baud rate of 4800. A straight through serial cable is needed for
the connection. The KIO2 manual mentions that a special cable is needed because the KIO2
doesn't have standard RS-232 signals on all pins. For example, Pin 4 on the KIO2 is described
as "Automatic Level Control from an external amp to the SSB adapter."
THE PIN 4 POWER and RTS/CTS LOOP JUMPERS MUST NOT BE SHORTED IN THE
PIGTAIL!!!
Outside of pins 2, 3, 4 and 5 the Pigtail leaves the other pins unconnected so a standard serial
