Cliff E All Messages By This Member #51572 Jim I've experienced issues like yours as well.? As a work around I have set wsjt-x and my 857D up to work digital in VOX mode.? I also have usb CODEC settings at 100% and control I/O primarily through the wsjt-x slider control, with some tweaking via the Signalink knobs.? I think I have the baud rate at 14400 or even lower.? I rotate rigs between the 857D and a TS2000 and this method works on both....with obvious cable and internal signalink changes made.? The only thing I lose is rig control from wsjt-x which to me is an acceptable trade off.? I'm sure it's an easy fix, but in my case this is good.? Also I have clip on toroid on all audio cables, plus i got good cables with built in chokes.? Good luck!

Are you connected to the FT-857D via the Data Port? ???My connection from the Signalink is to the FT-857D ?Data Port.? ?(Note:? I was using my Kenwood TS-590s on ft-8 with no problems until a pre-driver mosfet failed.? There is no Signalink interface connection with the TS-590S. ?

Cliff E All Messages By This Member #51575 Jim Yes my signalink is connected to the rig via the data port.? My rig's settings are menu 19 CAT rate is 4800.? I never tried higher; menu 20 is CAT; menu 37 is 45; menu 38 is User U; menu 40 is 15 although not sure that matters; menu 59 is CAT; menu 88 is 50 but again, may not matter.? In wsjt-x my radio setting is PTT method VOX. This lightens and deactivates all the other settings sections. Audio input is microphone usb audio codec on mono.? Output is speakers usb audio codec set to both.? I have zero rig control via wsjt-x other than the PTT but I dont care, and all my FT8 contacts confirms it works. ?? I can also use the hand mic for normal voice operations with these settings as well so they're compatible. Hope this helps!

Cliff E All Messages By This Member #51576 Jim I also find I can decode FT8 better with the AGC set to auto, not off.? Not sure why.? Pitty on your 590S, it's a great rig. But won't signslink's kenwood 12 pin connector cable work? That's what I use on my TS2000.
