I double checked and its the same for my 8900 and it works fine so I'm confused. I don't know if it's a delay issue and if someone knows what that number should be I would appreciate if you could share

Morning John

I just went to Tigertronics website, and they have cables and wiring instructions for both the Data and Packet ports.

Hope this helps.

Douglas

I have a Ft-847, signalink, and using agwpe but I am having problems with getting mine setup for FM packet.? I have everything working and confirm it works on my FT-8900 which successfully sends packets audio but I can not get the 847 to pass the transmit audio. When I send a beacon the signalink keys up the 847 but no audio is passed through to the radio. The 847 will receive packets and it will pass computer audio from other sources through the 847 and key up the radio but no audio. I also did see the renaming the USB audio names and like I said it works very well on the 8900 but I'm lost. I did try playing with the tx delay in agwpe but still no change. So to summarize: * 8900 No issues and works as normal *847 -Keys radio but no audio for tx with no changes to setup. -Does key and pass system sounds when set to do so. I appreciate any help that might solve my issue or special settings needed to get the audio to pass.

I've thought of using the mic input also. I don't know if my 847 is an early unit or not. I forget now but the serial number has to be G or later if I remember correctly. Doesn't matter because my serial number doesn't start with a letter. Perhaps Canadian models were different.

My 847 is an early model and I can’t use most digital for it. I didn’t find out in time to send it in for the update. However the only way I ever got packet to work is through the microphone jack.

I am having the exact same problem. Packet works fine on FT-7900 vhf. Put the same cable into Packet Port on 847, keys up fine, tx fine, signal but no audio heard on another receiver. My understanding is that the Packet Port is for vhf/uhf packet which is what I want, and that the data in/out port is for HF. So you are not alone John. Maybe we can both get some help with this.? 73 de Dennis VE3XC

I was wondering if you are using the DATA in/out port for the signal instead of the Packet port.

Or maybe, the jumper block inside the signallink is wired slightly different.

Just a thought.

Unfortunately my soldering iron packed it in so I haven't been able to remove that 2nd PC board the crystals are mounted on.? Notice the braille-like bumps on the ends of the silver cylinders.

That is unfortunate...?? I hope you can make a claim with mail service.? I wonder if it is at all salvageable

Guilty!? My parents could tell you horror stories (for them) about me taking apart things when I was very young.? :^)? And that's only the things they found out about. Hihi!

But the story about the filter is that after looking for two years in Canada, I found only 3 but of the first two, one wanted Paypal only (which I don't do), the 2nd one I missed by a few hours, 3rd one: success! ....until it arrived in the mail totally crushed.

You must be one of those kids that always has to take things apart to see how they work
HI HI
73, Mike

Ever wonder what the inside of a Collins mechanical filter looks like?

Check your power supply connections. Loose connection are OK during
receive, but during transmit, you will be a voltage drop resulting in all
kinds of bad things happening including relay chatter.

Hello All
Has anyone had either of these 2 symptoms on their 847?
When powering up or occasionally during operation to chatter or flicker
causing you to restart controller software.
I have had it, now, several times. It sounds like relays trying to make
contact.
If this has happened, is there a fix?
Thank you

Closest I've had was the in-line fuse overheating, corroding and making poor contact. Mine were the cartridge fuses, not the spade terminal ones which are a lot better.

Well somehow I managed to loose/misplace one of the 2 smaller rubber button inserts when I had the display unit disassembled for other repairs.? This was the Tuner Button Rubber insert in the face plate.? I was wondering if anyone has a parts radio that would be willing to sell me a replacement rubber part.
Thanks, Will - N7IPY
