I want to use a tuner for my ft847!
I want to use a tuner for my ft847! Whilst I know the FC 20 is used with this radio, I don’t have one but I do have the FC 40 but I can’t seem to find any information confirming that this Radio works with any other tuner. Maybe somebody has some information out there or do I just go ahead and try it???
I have a friend who might buy my FT847 and he has a Mat40 tuner Which has beenUsed on A Yaesu FT891 and FT857 And yet again, I cannot confirm whether this will work for him. Any thoughts appreciated thank you

Re: FL-7000 Interface with a FT-847
Ho Tom,
I think you are correct, it is just belts and braces to isolate and not a bad idea.
I have just fitted a ptt socket on my K2 using two MOSFETS, the ptt transistor is rated 500vV 20 Amp so will handle anything. I did not use an isolator but not a bad Ide.

I have both but there is no band change data from an FT847 but you do
have standby for PTT. You cannot hook up the FT847’s PTT socket to the
FL7000 without safely using a buffer. You just need a cheap optoisolated
relay with short to ground. That goes to the STBY socket of the FT847 and
the buffered side to the FL7000. The ALC “from memory” is -9vdc but might
be wrong. I use mine straight though but let me double check that the -9vdc
is in the range for the FT847 as I also have the VL1000 and that again has
no option for band change other than use the F button in sequence and let
the radio auto sense band from the signal.
Other radios like the FT840 I have the band data but not the FT847.

I recently purchased a FL-7000 & was wanting to interface it with my

Hi Rob,
I've not found the need to have an isolation transformer, but yes,
DC blocking is needed to keep the rig from going into transmit.?
If you don't have a transformer the blocking is also needed by the
TNC, as some (sound cards especially) don't like having a DC bias
pushed into them.?
Attached is the circuit I've used.? Component values aren't
critical, but if the capacitor is too small you won't get good
audio through, and if it's too large the rig will go into transmit
for a short time while it charges up.? This is the same circuit as
was often used on older HTs.
Note that the PTT signal is assumed to be some sort of "open

need to add that via an NPN transistor buffer.? 2N2222, 2.2k,
1N4001 for a bit of protection.? See the upper circuit in the

Hope this helps,

Re: disable ptt function on rear DATA jack in the presence of isolation transformers?
Sorry skip that…… I just couldn't decipher that on a mobile phone …. So small. There should also be a 2k resistor if the equipment uses and external PTT and does not reply on the high side signal I don’t see that in your drawing.
? If you want to disable PTT then use the TX inhibit lines. If you see the attached image of the Tuner socket then you can use a resistor I believe to tie this TX inhibit to a pull up but you need to ask Andrew Lenton this as ?I believe as it was he that told me about this. I often work remote and when my PC starts up it sometimes pulls RTS or DTR (which one I’m not sure) ?high and puts the radio in TX. I?wanted this to stop as the radio could be out of band listening to something like AM broadcast etc and certainly didn’t want TX there so came up with the idea of inhibiting the TX with a remote relay and resistor. I went with a different solution I the end as my tuner was always inline unless using the CAT connection.
? Sorry for the mixup but I’ve been reading another thread and couldn’t quite get my head around something.
? Hope this helps as the TX inhibit can easily be sequenced to enable and disable.

Re: TX power meter in HF AFSK data mode mode ??
thanks Greg.
I figured that would be the case as effectively its still SSB just via a different pathway, but always better
to confirm with others.
audio is DEFINITELY getting to the rear of the 847 but for some reason not getting into the TX stage?
At least I now know that I should expect to see "something" and can start looking inside?

Re: TX power meter in HF AFSK data mode mode ??
If you're driving the radio too hard it can have a similar effect, drop your TX line out level going to the radio by 80% and see if it transmits but with low levels then gradually bring it up for a good ALC reading.

If it's actually going into transmit, I'd check your audio path.?
The meter should deflect at least a little, showing the transmit
power.

Yes I can hear FT8 tones through the speaker if I turn volume up.
If I turn on MONI I can hear my TX tones too.

Hi All
?
Thanks for adding me to the group.
I have a problem with my FT847 when trying to run FT8 on VHF.
?
I have been using the FT847 to run 2m FT8 with a G4ZLP interface into the Data jack on the rear of the radio with no issues for a few years.
Recently, the waterfall would occasionally go blank, but then start working again. A few weeks ago it stopped receiving and hasn’t worked since.
I suspected the cable, and have replaced with a new one from G4ZLP today. I still cant get any RX on the waterfall.
?
I looked in the settings of WSJT and see that Transmit Audio Source is set to Front/Mic but is greyed out and unable to change to Rear/Data which I would have expected the setting to be.
I have not changed this setting, and as above, I have used this Cable/rear panel configuration since going on 2m FT8.
?
Is it possible that the rear data jack has gone faulty? Should the Transmit Audio Source be set REAR / DATA and if so how when greyed out?
?
I have put a wire into the HF Ant port in an attempt to see if it will RX anything, I am HEARING 20m FT8 but not a jot on the waterfall.
I have also run HF ?from my FT5000 on the VHF port of the interface and that decodes so I cant see it being the interface at fault.
?
Running WSJT-X v2.7.1 rc7
?
Any help is appreciated

Help with Yaesu FT-847 please
Hi all, I have a strange problem with an FT-847 and hopefully someone has seen this before and can help:? I have an FT-847 that works fine EXCEPT for an issue with turning it on or off. I replaced the power switch but the issue I have has nothing to do with that which I was hoping it did. When I connect my power supply to the radio and turn on the power supply without turning on the radio? I can hear what sounds like a relay click in the radio but nothing happens, just the click. Then when I push in the power button to turn the radio ON nothing happens for maybe5-10 seconds and then the radio comes on and works. If I push the power switch to turn the radio OFF then the display still stays lit up, display looks fine but nothing works, no buttons, no changing of frequency with the VFO, it's in a catatonic state. If I push the power switch back in again to turn the radio ON (even though it's all lit up)? then a few seconds later sound and all controls etc come back to life. If I leave the radio on when it's working and turn off the power supply of course the radio shuts off and when I turn the power supply back on when the power button on the radio is in the ON position it starts right away and performs fine.
?Any help appreciated.
Thanks, Adam
