Apps?? Lots:
- WSJTX for FT-8, et al
- QSSTV or MMSSTV for SSTV
- fldigi for the rest of HF digital modes
- Direwolf for all the AX.25 packet apps - Linpac, pat winlink, YAAC
- rigctl
- Gpredict (realtime Doppler shift control via rigctl)
bunch of other stuff...? this is just from memory.
The first test is to fire up whatever software you want to use, and see the CAT icon light up on the rig's screen.? Then put a dummy load on the rig and try to key it up, set the power output.? A lot has to work right to pass that test.

Speaking of connections to the FT-847, what apps are everyone using?
We talk a lot about the connection to the rig, what would users use to test that connection?
I am sure others might like to know, or maybe use this thread as some sort of reference to interfacing with the radio...
