Transceiver

RemoteQTH server

  • Connect TS-480 RJ6 female to USB/UART interface

VOIP

Transferring audio is implemented with the IP phone Cisco SPA301. For better latency can use the same IP phone on the operator side.

If you want to listen to the speaker front panel, connect the phone with bluetooth module with 3,5 jack cable. Or use the headphone directly with your phone.
