Thanks Mike

I don't need to use sound card, because CW and SSB will

be the only modes in use.

Will check your sugestion. If not works, let's use 857 and

FC-40, with notebook in manual operation, regular keyer

and microphone hi hi

Check out DigiRig.net-it works great with my FT857-D. Not sure if N1MM will drive a soundcard modem, but there are virtual TNC programs that it should work with. I use a paid version of VARA HF (again don’t know if it will work with N1MM). Check for some other links or N1MM webpage.

Good Morning

?

I will try to use FT857 next trip to Italy, in April.

Trying to buy a FC-40 to make it with a LongWire.

Notebook with an USB cable will control radio.

And this is my doubt now...

?

How can I connect FT-857 with FC-40 and keep it together CAT control from a notebook?

?

Usually working with N1MM+.

?

Thanks a lot... 73 DX from PY2NY

(but I/SP9NY in April)

Before I send this back to Yaesu...again...I thought I'd throw this out there.

My FT-857d had been installed in my shack with the faceplate remotely mounted and the radio connected to a 70A supply along with all my other radios. One day I powered up the shack and the 857 would light up, relays clicked then it turned off. It would run this cycle forever if I let it. So I looked for possible faulty connections. I cleaned the RJ-11(?) on the back of the faceplate and put it back together and it worked, for a week. Then the same thing. After multiple attempts to clean the jack again, I ended up bending the pins.

?

So now I'm thinking it was a coincidence that it worked after I cleaned it the first time. I have 2-3 of every cable for the radio. I opened up brand new cables and nothing changed. I cleaned the fuses. Connected the radio to 2 different batteries for power. Nothing. So I sent it back to Yaesu suggesting it could be an issue with the RJ-11 jack. I only sent back the face plate because when I tested the face plate on a friends radio, the radio didnt work either. Also because I am cheap and wanted to keep the shipping cost down. After a while I got the radio back and they said they had replaced the RJ-11 jack.

?

The radio behaves the same as always. Cycles on and off at about 1 second intervals. I get lights only. Nothing on the display. Today I noticed something else. If I continuously turn the VFO dial while its booting up, it will stop cycling while I'm turning it. It will stay lit up but the radio never really comes on.

?

I've pretty much exhausted all the possibilities of an external connection issue. With all the extra cables and power sources I have, I'm pretty sure thats not the problem. I'm not able to test the control head on another radio at this time. My friend has packed away his radio to move.

?

I'm going to send the whole thing back to Yaesu, unless someone here has a miracle solution.

Thanks
