Re: FT-847 Digital Modes
Try a program called VSPE or Virtual Serial Port Emulator and choose splitter. Then select COM20 as your virtual port and make sure you set a common baud rate. Then set the same baud rate for CAT and

Re: FT-847 Digital Modes
Splitting out the serial port's signals for CAT and PTT is great if
the software supports it - both CAT and PTT on the same adapter -
without a conflict. Sounds like it does. Thanks for

Re: FT-847 Digital Modes
Hello Greg,
I am curious with the Signal Link keying the radio via VOX generated PTT also.
As the SL has nothing to do with the CAT then the AFSK software should work via VOX setting and not comm

Re: FT-847 Digital Modes
I think you must be right, that the SignaLink's internal
VOX-generated PTT is what is triggering the 847 via the Data
connector. Changing the PTT Method to VOX in WSJT-X would confirm

Re: FT-847 Digital Modes
Hi John,
Thanks for the info.
Using your SignalLink with the SLCAB847 is 1 way I was looking at going. With the SL you also need the jumper module SLMODHT correct?
And from what I understand is the

Re: Digirig with FT847?
I've used the Digirig on both the DATA and 6 pin DIN ports on the FT-847.? It worked very well in both cases.

Re: FT-847 Digital Modes
Hello All,
Well that makes sense as to why it was not passing audio back to radio as PTT was being handled via CAT like all my other rigs.
Does not make sense why Yaesu done it that way except that

Re: FT-847 Digital Modes
As Stu notes, the challenge with using the 847 with the digital
modes is that the source of PTT needs to be the same as the source
of the audio, EXCEPT for CAT. CAT control of PTT for some

Hello All,
Before I shell out the $$$ for a SCU-17 or SignalLink I have a couple questions.

Re: Molex plug for FT847 power.
Hello Sjoerd.
That (AliExpress part) is the wrong end.? I need the one that mates to it.? I think (hope) the Molex 39-03-6064 you linked at Mouser is the one I need.
Thank you.

If you think that is expensive, wait until you price the crimping tool!
