I'm new to the group and would like to know if there are any boards, or kits, or plans to homebrew available? I have several syntorx's and this looks like the...
... boards, ... and ... There will be at least one more batch of assembled and tested boards made. Once the original batch of PCBs are gone we'll try to gage ...
Skip, Depending on when your next release of boards is, I would be interested in a dip package. What would you want for a programed chip, and am I on my own...
Most of the parts for the next batch of boards are in, Lee just needs to find time to build and test them. I don't currently have a schematic of the Xcat for...
Skip, Thanks. If we aren't too far down the road, I'll just wait. I have no real rush, and I probably wouldn't get it done before the boards are released...
My xcat has been sitting here in the box since it arrived. I was hoping to come up with a control head and cables for the VHF-HI syntor-X radio deck that I...
I have decided to take orders for the Xcat boards directly. They will be $73 plus $6 shipping within the USA. Let me know how many you want, and I will get...
Hello the group. I finally got a chance or some free time to explore this new project for my station. This project is to put in operation a remote agile ...
Wow. I don't even remember signing up for this discussion group (that is how much it has been used!) ... So far, I have taken two approaches. One, I got a...
Hi Will, long time no talk! Lee can still make boards. The larger batches and ebay auctions turned out to be a pain. Building the boards one at a time is...
... To jog your memory a Xcat is similar to a Piexx board, except it can also connect to a repeater controller or PC for frequency control. It talks the ICOM...
I have one available from the original batch that were sold. Unfortunately, due to other demmands I have not had the time to install it. It is still in its...

Hello Skip, Have another question. I forgot to mention I have another controller that have 3 ports and I think a four port for controlling radios freq......
It should work. One of the first Xcat owners had a ARCOM, he couldn't get the Doug Hall mode to work and ended up using the CI-V interface that was also...
Ok Thanks Skip, I bought the arcom rc210 controller for the another repeater project but now would like to place a syntor x, Uhf and Vhf at a remote site and...
Skip and the group, Have a few questions. What is the advantages or disadvantages of having the Xcat run on the serial port of a computer vs running on a...
... Well, if you wanted to control it locally at your shack and you run Windoze then hooking it to a computer probably makes sense. If you want to hook the ...
Eric, Skip I received the packages on Wednesday. I open the box and notice that the Xcat was out of it's plastic small bag and must have be moving around on...
Will. I never did test the board while I had it. Not sure if Skip can add more info to the test info? Otherwise send it back and I will reimburse you. 73 Eric...
Eric, Thanks, I'm really ready to get this project off the ground but look like I'll have a little delay. I have ran the same test several times with the same...
Will, there were some embarrassing problems with the firmware that shipped with the first batch of boards. Update the firmware to version 0.13 and you should...
Will, if you don't want to mess with updating the firmware I'd be happy to do it for you. I'll test the board and make sure it works before sending it back. ...

Skip, I now have the firmware updated to ver. 0.13. I' m continuing to learn how the puzzel fits Thanks for sharing, until the next question please stay tune...
Skip, I now have the xcat working fine on 146.52 Still learning. Need to understand the interface cable for hookup for those required signals to the syntor...
