HTX-100 Push-to-Talk (PTT) Adapters
 
Using your HTX-100 for new digital modes (like FT8, JT65, etc) using a Raspberry Pi is as easy as adding a USB sound card, connecting the audio in/out, controlling PTT from the Pi, and running an application (such as WSJTX).

The Raspberry Pi GPIO pins can't directly control the HTX-100 and it is important to isolate them from the HTX-100.  I used an opto-isolator to create three versions of PTT Modules to connect your Raspberry Pi to your HTX-100 (or nearly any other rig)!  No need to design or build your own circuit/adapter - I've already done it for you!

  • GREAT for WSJTX/FT8 and all other digital modes
  • Single-row, 6-pin connection to rPi (ODD Pins 1-11)
  • Uses rPi's GPIO17 as Serial Port's RTS (Mode ALT3) as controlled by WSJTX
  • Uses 4N25/4N25M opto-coupler
  • Use Optional 1nF capacitor (pads on board) for RF blocking
  • Shared ground-plane between radio and Raspberry Pi
  • Must be forward current from Radio's PTT line into board (ensure GND is correct)
