AllStarLink 3 with the Yaesu HRI-200 – now on GitHub

Hi all,

I've published a project that lets you use the Yaesu HRI-200 (the WIRES-X interface) as the radio interface for an AllStarLink 3 node on a Raspberry Pi.

The catch with the HRI-200 is that it has no CM108/CM119 chip, so the standard ASL3 drivers (SimpleUSB/USBRadio) won't work with it. The approach here is a bridge daemon that speaks the HRI-200's own serial protocol and presents the radio to app_rpt through the USRP channel driver (chan_usrp).

What's included:

  • Installer script for a clean Raspberry Pi OS Lite 64-bit
  • Bridge daemon between the HRI-200 and ASL3
  • Web control panel for all node configuration (no asl-menu required)
  • Support for the FTM-400D and FT-7800R

Tested and working with two-way audio to other nodes.

Anders,

Thank you for sharing this. Do you think this will work with a Yaesu DR-2X repeater in place of the FTM-400 or FT-7800R?
