First I'd make sure my soundcard input and output are set correctly in wsjtx and js8call. Are you seeing activity in your waterfall? If not,? definitely check program is pointed to soundcard. Also, since you never used this setup, could be a cable issue. Your audio cable from your soundcard is going to the data mini din connector in the back of the radio, right? Another thing, the 891 settings can be very confusing and a lot of people have issues with them. Jason posted a link not too long ago to another hams website that he used to setup is..might want to look for that one.?

Hi - CAT for PTT and just cable. Everything is dedicated for the Pi so haven't tried any of these cables on pc - might see if thats a possibility or if I have another USB A to USB B cable. I'm pretty certain its just user error / cable (?) vs the pi as there are a lot of unknown to me things involved here lol. The CAT control itself works in the sense I wouldnt?be able to change from ft4 to ft8 and have the freq change on the rig correct ?
Jim
Are you using CAT for PTT? VOX? An interface that keys PTT, etc.? Are you using some kind of audio interface or just cables? Doesn't sound like a "Linux" issue per se, just sounds like something is not configured correctly for your setup or even an issue with your cables or interface. Does it work on a PC but not on the Pi? What makes you think it's a Pi issue?

Goal - Use Pi4 in field (POTA) with dig modes (wsjtx for now)
Installed BAP and patches except Test Patch ( dont know what that is)
Also new to flrig etc. but its installed and init works with ft891 - will key it up freq changes etc
used flrig/flrig with wsjtx (familiar with wsjtx on base ic7300 on pc)
wsjtx 2.4.0 - no erros and acts like it working - can change freq etc, enable acts like its sending but rig is not keyed up
sabrent sound configured - no apparent issues, ublox gps no apperent issues (but sometimes need to unplug/plug back but also inside for now)
using 5w to dummy load for now - just cant figure out why wsjtx not actually trying to xmit
suggestions ? (explicit commands needed - not a unix guru) - yes I have flrig running before wsjtx starts
Thanks in advance - Jim
