W3 works with my AS3, got some things to work out.

Post by chartofmaryland »

Works well except for these problems, I connect the - BUS from the W3 to OPT SEL on the AS3 and the display will scroll with the channel knob being turned, but the face of the W3 becomes useless, how would I incorperate this with RS-232?

I have

+BUS
-BUS
BUSY

There is no -BUS on the back of the AS so I need to include this somewhere so the W3 follows the AS commands.

Got all the other wires hooked up and it works good, Tx and Rx work, no light on the W3 display, nor to any of the DTMF losing parts I know because of the lack of communication between the AS and the W3.

CoM
If the lights are out when you leave the station and then come on the second you key up, you know you have enough power.
