IZ2LXI :
How to use the Android app RS-MS1A with "older"
D-Star radios IC-2820, IC-92, ID-51, ID-5100) with
the serial cable


As of version of the 1.1 Icom app RS-MS1A it becomespossible to use it jointly with one of the "older" d.star radio viaserial cable.

The "data chain" to create it's not overcomplicated, but it can
imply a bit of luck in finding the right components:

•
Telephone or tablet :
•
it must be an "android 4.x" with USB OTG (Usb On theGo) support. this is a key aspect to make it work with theserial adapter.
•

•
Cable to connect the phone to the serial adapter
•
it MUST be an"USB OTG" cable (it.wikipedia.org/wiki/
USB_On-The-Go) i.e. cheaper USB reduction from USB
A to mini USB DO NOT WORK WITH OTG .
•

•
USB-TO Serial adapater:
•
it shall be a model recognized by the phone/tablet.
sometimes different adpaters works with different phones-- it can be the same one you use with d-rats
•


•
reduction cable compatible with your radio - lately it's a
female-serial to mini jack (2.5mm) like the one you usewith d-rats

How to use it

1 first of all... read the manual of the app and of your radio
2 configure the radio as you would do for d.rats (you can

test it with d.rats and pc)
3 install the android RS-MS1A app from the app store
4 connect the serial adapter to the phone using the otg


cable. the phone will promt you to launch an app... selectthe RS-MS1A -- if this doesnt happen:

•
feel lucky
•
try with a different OTG adapter

• check that it all works with d-rats and pc
• try with different serial adapter
• try with different phoneonce the app loads and gives no error of "no radio"

1 open the RS-MS1A app and select "other radio"

2 be sure to insert "mycall" and "your call" in the proper

fields otherwise it will not work.

Notes

IC-92: data speed to be set at 9200 bps
