[chirp_users] Is the ID-880H data protocol documented somewhere?
Hello all -
I just got an ID-880H and am getting started with D-STAR. I would like to try writing my own applications for programming and controlling the radio, but I cannot find anything that documents what the programming protocol is for the radio. Can someone tell me where it might be documented? I'd like to do things with the radio that CHIRP and the other programs do not do. Any guidance?
Thanks in advance

Hello John,
For the RF DV data payload, it's a plain, non-framed format to which anyone can do with what they want. One example that you might want to check out is the D-RATS program:
Very capable program from the same maker as Chirp, written in Python. Unfortunately, I'm not aware of any other programs that uses the data side of Dstar today.

What I am looking for is the description of the commands that are sent to the radio to cause it to program memories, etc. In other words, how does CHIRP command the ID-880H to do what it does. I know I can look at the code (I shouldn't have to) but where is this protocol actually written down?

I guess I am asking, is the ID880H programmed using the CI-V commands? If so, are there new commands specific to the 880H?
