FreeSWITCH has a radio endpoint!!

by trixter on Sep.03, 2009, under Radio, Telephony

I finished the initial version of my  perl script that will link FreeSWITCH to a radio device.  While I am primarily doing this with amateur radio in mind, you could use this to connect a FRS, GMRS, or other similar type of radio.

Using the FT-897 PTT control circuit, you can control PTT by connecting the various connectors to virtually any radio.  Some will not be compatible, some will require hardware modification (removal of the mic/speaker and replacing them with headphone wires and connecting the PTT button to the serial port).  I will not be discussing how to do that here.  If you can’t figure that out you probably shouldn’t be doing it.

An in depth installation and configuration guide can be found on the FreeSWITCH wiki.
