Giuseppe,
If you look at http://www.radiomanual.info/schemi/FT102_user_VA3VFO.pdf
you realize that the display is the result of a frequency counter
being built in. You could either tap in and count yourself, or you
could tap a whole number of other points depending on what you are after
Yes, but still I would need to tap into the band selector. If possible,
better read a meaningful frequency (again, if possible). Once I will go
for tapping the band selector, yes I could just use the input to the
frequency display( that is really a frequency counter, not like new
synthetized stuff).
Love to get some serial interface into my IC-740, which is just a
little too old for serial interfaces like the younger onces.
Well, use the ft-736 "emulator" approach, maybe your could be somewhat
driven. IC-740 sports digital VFOs and it is solid state so...have fun.
Being the FT-102 a tube radio, there is no way I will set the VFO using
a computer, like this:
http://www.sdr-kits.net/Webshop/products.php?34&cPath=6&osCsid=dug2k29uis64g4kgidd38kk9u3
I would need like 6 knobs/selectors to be turned from the
computer...could be a good robot project :)
Cheers,
Magnus

Thats a mighty old radio.
That being said reading the frequency of the VFO may or may not work out
for you.
The actual frequency will be made up of a number of other frequencies
that
are injected at different stages.
Drake as an example actually uses the VFO in a plus or add on some bands
and a minus or subtract on others.
If you can read just the VFO then at least you have the last digits
correct
accept for the minus case.

Hello,
just wanted to know if there is any very cheap pre programmed pic or
something similar to get frequency of a Yaesu FT-102 radio.
I need it to know its frequency, either the VFO alone (sub 6MHz) or
possibly its real rx and tx frequency (up to 30MHz).
Using the VFO would be easier but then I will have to probe the
mechanical
band commutator.
I know Arduino could be a solution, just wanted to know if something
smaller is available, possibly with rs232.
TIA
