Re: FT-980 Used with a transverter - frequency display to suit VHF / UHF band
Hi Phil, Inrad sells a 6th-order 47.055MHz crystal roofing filter meant for the FT-980, but I don't know anyone who has installed it (and certainly no one who has done pre/post testing to see effects

Re: FT-980 Used with a transverter - frequency display to suit VHF / UHF band
Thanks Fred. That description makes sense. I've ordered a connector for the ACC1 facility and will link the appropriate pins etc. The relevant pins are indeed described within the RSGB RadCom

Re: FT-980 Used with a transverter - frequency display to suit VHF / UHF band
Phil, It's been a while since I had my FTV-901R/FT-980 connected together, but I did a test with one of my '980s last night (w/o transverter). The V/U button doesn't have an effect, and the Operating

Re: CAT Interface: Hamlib Library Interface
I'd love to see this fully completed and can help debug, develop, what have you. See my comments in the WSJT-X thread regarding flrig - that's another package in need of update. 73 - Fred, N8YX

Re: WSJT-X and FT-980 ?
Ubuntu or Red Hat are what I've used the most - various flavors thereof - though you can install anything you want as long as you can get to the repos for the tools and support libraries. Most mirrors

Re: WSJT-X and FT-980 ?
This is how I set it up as well (except I'm using a W64 system).? I think I've figured out how hamlib works, next step it to set up a toolchain. I may have to set up a linux machine since it will be

CAT Interface: Hamlib Library Interface
I've gone through "Alpha" testing of the opensource hamlib interface library code (v4.0). The ft-980 code (ft-980.c) is listed at "Alpha", or untested. The Alpha code only has 6 functions listed:

Well, that just proves that you never stop learning! I had no idea that the keypad could be used for doing that. I'll give that a try when I get back to the shack. Does it only do it if the links ae

Re: WSJT-X and FT-980 ?
I now have the FT-980 functioning in WSJT-X, which is running on Mint Tricia 19.3 (see above). My PTT setup in WSJT-X is VOX and this is handled through a SignaLink USB interface. Once I set audio and

Re: WSJT-X and FT-980 ?
What are you doing with setup parms in WSJT-X for the FIF-232/'980, Mat? I have 5 serial ports on this particular system - /ttys0 and /ttys4-7. I -think- my CAT connection is currently on /ttys0 but

Re: FT-980 Used with a transverter - frequency display to suit VHF / UHF band
Phil, You can do this from the front panel by selecting the "Key -> V/U" buttons. I have an FTV-901R that's been modified by Yaesu to work with the '980 and IIRC it toggles those lines as its band

FT-980 Used with a transverter - frequency display to suit VHF / UHF band
Hi All. I'm new here, so be kind.......? ? 8-) I've got two 980s - one of them was my first solid state rig, bought new in the mid-80s and the other is a donor rig I got hold of for a song some 20

Re: FT-980 w/ FC-757AT
Your logic makes sense: if the blocking diode was defective-shorted (vs open), it could expose the MCU pin to raw IO voltage (vs emulating a low-side driver). If the FC-757 is like the 980, Yaesu

Re: FT-980 w/ FC-757AT
Did some digging into the tuner this morning. First order of business was to verify correct voltage on each of the four Band Data lines as the various bands were selected by the '980. This checked

Re: FT-980 - Low Modulation in AM Mode
Mark, Do you have another mic to try with your rig? I get more than adequate drive with an MD1- series desk mic and don't have to open up the Mic Gain very far to obtain an ALC reading. 73 - Fred,
