Good progress.?
?
Sorry if you already answered this... is this a new problem (that was working before) or the first time CAT controlling the FT847?
?
I have to confess I've never come across the RATS847 software, though I've seen it referenced in some quite old AMSAT and eham posts.? It's possible that you need to enable bi-directional control within the software, or if the software is "demo" that this doesn't function or? had limited time functionality (or that it simply doesn't support this).? Does the S meter in the software seem to display anything , is it matching the radio??
?
EDIT: I just found RATS847 in the files section (should have looked earlier) and am running it in demo mode. It does not seem to work bidirectionally for me either via the rig tuning dial.? BUT try manually tuning the radio, them press the SYCN button in the software radios panel. That pols the radio and? updates the software to the radio.? If you check the? menu settings> tune to radio at startup, that? polls the radio and populates the frequency fields. I can report the S meter works in software for me.? So it that isn't working for you... it should!?
?
?
Have you tried using other software (some more modern)? like the WSJTX software (that will tell you if? the CATS working correctly). Ham Radio Delux has a trial period you could try.?
Both these work flawlessly for me.? I think FT847 supercontrol.de does too (don't quote me on that one).?
