Reviving this old thread to see if anyone has ideas Unitrunker CI/V or serial Icom-ID880H

The ID-880H is very interesting because you can pull a discriminator from Pin 4 of the PS/2 connector port, and it works well for 800/900MHz. The ID-4100 they got rid of 800/900 receive.

The maintenance manual for the ID-880H is also readily available, and you can easily fix the Reference Oscillator using standard test equipment.

This time around, wanting to use DSD-FME

Has anyone dealt with the communication between the control head and radio? Is it CAN bus? I2C? SPI? How about the keypad mic?

Is it worth trying to brute force or guess a CI-V address?

I did a serial port capture when reading / writing the radio with the programming software. it uses the typical FEFEFEFE but after that doesn't seem to follow the CI-V format.



I am willing to do some coding even if it comes down to emulating the keypad mic "ENT" key and number presses using an Arduino or Teensy
