Hi TinkTron,
I just got one of these radios after watching your video, but where can I find the schematics of the interface?

Great job once again…
Great job once again…Can you get HRD to control my HW-8?

Hi John.. I sure could do this for an HW-8 if I had enough of a budget!!!
You do understand that the Heathkit HW-8 is an ANALOG QRP transceiver ??
There is NO uProcessor to control or CAT interface (since there is no uProcessor to control).
The HW-8 came out in mid-1970s, when the Intel 4004, 8008 and Motorola 6502 were brand new processors.

Actually in 1980, the IBM PC was still in design stage ! It was not introduced to marketplace until 1982. In 1980, the 8-bit processors (6502, Z-80) were common and the operating system was: Digital Research CP/M.
Sadly, I lived the history — and people are already forgetting 🙁
W9GB, yes, I know. I built my HW-8 back in 1975. I was just toying with my good friend KA6BFB.
Yes I do realize that, that is why I mentioned that I would need a budget. I would be emulating a radio like I do now, and using a DDS to create the signals
The IBM 5150 came out in August of 1981. I actually had one that I bought used and used it until 1994 for some DOS stuff I was doing. It ended life with a high velocity .308 bullet from my rifle. It had a 10MB hard drive and two floppies, a parallel port and a serial port. I also designed a card to interface to the ISA port in that thing and put out a 1 Mbps serial stream on a 10 wire bus I cam up with using RS-422. That thing used over 30 chips to do what can now be done with one USB IC
maybe you can make the interfaces and flogg um,oops i mean sell,jeff… m6glh
The board artwork is available. It’s all on the website. home.comcast.net/~tinkyr/radio/projects/720_to%20HRD/720A_to_HRD.htm
Tinkyr you rock!
Simply amazin! Great job.
IC-720A / all filters – or not. … respects for IC-720, a old best transceiver..
Nice video, thanks.
