YT-100, SignaLink and Computer connections for FT-8
I have a FT-857D in my go kit, have the YT-100 auto tuner and have been using this with HRD on a laptop.? I want to run digital FT-8 with this setup but don't see how to have both the YT-100 and SignaLink in line with the computer.? The YT-100 has a pass through feature but the SignaLink does not.
Any advise?
Thanks in Advance.

Re: Switching on/off my FT-857D
ALWAYS, call Yaesu Tech Support before doing any resets. It may be a simple problem that can be corrected without loosing all your data you have storied in the radio. Its a free service.

When I push the Power ON/OFF to switch off the radio, the front panel stop displaying the informations from the VFO but don't switch off totally the radio. The LCD is still illuminated !
And switching on again don't bring the display back. The only solution is to switch off the power supply.
The problem is I need sometimes to switch on/off again several time the power supply to get the radio running again.
I think in no time, I won't be able to switch on again the radio 
Any suggestion about what to check ? Many thanks in advance, 73 de Thierry, F4GVO

Re: Switching on/off my FT-857D
Hi Alex,
Thanks for the tips.
as I use the speration kit YSK-857 in my
shack, the idea was to connect back the little RJ-45 cable to
the radio instead of the long one. After reading your message, I
disconnect the radio from the power supply and this morning it
is working perfectly !
I am relieve !

Re: Challenger DX antenna and FT857
#signal
Thank you Jon Will thik it off. Actually I was looking for a good vertical 80-10 without radials for my low land area of QTH. I just happened?to see this Challenger ant which is 80 - 2 Mts. So thought with one antenna all the HF and VHF can be covered. Will study with it more through various groups and decide whether to go for it.? Which vertical do you think best?

Challenger DX antenna and FT857
#signal
Hi all
I like to get a report on the perfomence of Challenger DX vertical on 2 Mts. As it is a single antenna for 80 through 2 Mts. thought of trying because of QTH terrain. The QTH is sorrounded by small hills and vegitaion. So will a vertical all bender work well ?
73s and regards?

Re: FT857d with external SWR/POWER Meter
I stand corrected. I should take my own advice and check settings.
Mine was turned down. Thanks for the correction.
