The YK1-BT
YK1-BT
The YK1-BT is a low-cost RS-232c DB9 compatible with VE2DX TrueCAT Technology. It will work with male pins on most standard RS232c devices in terminal mode. It is powered by USB-C. You can link it with your computer, laptop, tablet, or even cell phone!
Windows10 can be weird?
Thank you, Mr. Gates!
Well, Windows 10 is Weird, and this is an understatement.
When you link a Bluetooth serial port in Windows 10, it creates 2 Bluetooth Com ports, BUT only one can be used!
Here is a step-by-step.
1- Make sure your YC1-BT is powered on and flashing Green.
2- in the Windows 10 taskbar, type "Bluetooth" and hit enter.
3- at the top of the "Bluetooth and other devices" page, click the + sign next to "Add Bluetooth or other devices."
4- Click on Bluetooth
5- this can take a couple of minutes; look for a new device named
"VE2DX YK1-BT" click on it. You will get a confirmation that it is pairing.
6- Enter "1234" and hit Connect if a password is requested. And you are paired!
7- Open Device Manager via your Control Panel.
8- Open the "Ports (Com & LPT)"
9- you will now have two new Com Ports (yes, 2!) called "Standard Serial over Bluetooth link." take note of both Com port numbers.
Example of Application setup (HRD)
Thank you, Simon!
(This example is based on an FT-817 using a YC1-BT, the same principles apply to your YK1-BT.)
Okay, now that we have the radio linked to Windows 10, here is how you would link your radio to HRD. In this example, we are using HRD 6, Yaesu FT817ND, and the VE2DX YC1-BT.
1- Power up your 817ND and make certain the YC1-BT VE2DX LOGO is flashing GREEN.
Note: We are assuming here that you have already paired your YC1-BT to your Windows 10 and that your FT-817 was properly configured to 9600 in menu 14.
2- Start HRD. On the Radio configuration page, select NEW + YAESU + FT-817 + Com port and 9600.
Note: If the first Com Port you tried above does not work, redo with the second Com Port.
3- Your done, HRD should be connected to your FT-817.
4- if appropriately connected, your YC1-BT VE2DX LOGO will be ON solid GREEN.
