Re: CAT Cable USB for FT 857D
Plus, I like the flashing lights on it. :-)
Zack W9SZ I am using this cable for my FT-857 for several years and it works flawlessly. I use BlueMax49ers cables for a number of my radios, and they all work perfectly!
Jim S. KM6WWY ? I've been using this one. It works great.

Re: CAT Cable USB for FT 857D
I have mine hooked up that way now.? I have it setup for 4800 baud and t work just fine.? I would recommend not using the 38400 option as the USB converter does not handle it very well without handshaking.

Hi friends, I have a question. Has anyone here connected a Yaesu FT 857D to a PC to use CAT, but not with the CT-62 (RS 232C) cable, but rather using a USB cable? How does it work?

Re: CAT Cable USB for FT 857D
I use the DigiRig FT857 kit. Works great for all FSK modes.

Re: CAT Cable USB for FT 857D
I purchased three
of these
about 18 months ago and all three work flawlessly on Windows 10.?
No driver to install, no setup.? Just plug it in and it works.

Re: Has anyone been able to successfully send CW using cat control and a Digirig?
So I was able to send using the RTS line when connected through my PC using hamlib and N1MM however I can't get hamlib to work on my Raspberry Pi with?fldigi to key the same line.I'm able to directly key through the cat interface without using anything other than the digirig?but can't do it through FLDigi just N1MM it doesn't make sense.?

That will be the RTS or DTR line using RigCat serial port. Or you can select a separate serial port to do that if you are going to use HamLib or FLRig.
You will have to build yourself an isolation interface to convert the RS-232 levels to the radio CW keying jack.? Diagrams are all over the Internet.? Normally an Opto-Isolator and/or a couple of small transistors.

Subject [FT-857] Has anyone been able to successfully send CW using cat control and a Digirig?
Good afternoon, I have a 857 that I have connected to a Digirig. I would like to send CW using FlDigi. So far I have tried to send it with the radio using sideband and I'm seeing no output power which I think might be in audio setting? I had read that you can send CW using cat control. That would be the ideal configuration for me. I am able to connect to the radio with fl rig ig but have not had much success with hamlib or rigctl.
?
Has anyone done this before? Can anyone offer any advice

Thank you Mike. 73s nd regards Unni
This could be an indication your frequency synthesizer is out of lock. Download the service manual and troubleshoot.

I was successful with the K3NG keyer. You can build one with ?Arduino or buy a kit.?

Dear all
Suddenly today my 857D display started flashing. This display was the a replaced one due to zeebra lines an year back. Did all reset but no result. So from where I should start diagonising. Input voltage is 13.8 Volt. Please help

I don't know how, but I have U5 Link box from AlliBaba and CW is ok with COM4 port, together radio control, using N1MM+... 73 DX I / SP9NY
