FT-847 CAT Control Problem

Micky Corrow All Messages By This Member #392 Greetings All While I am trying to get my 847 setup for digital operations such as FT8, I have come across a CAT control problem. My rig is from 1990, serial 0M45xxxx so it shouldn't have any difficulties. I tried a CPU reset with no change. I can get the FT847UNI drivers working in JTDX, but not the Bi-Directional driver. While this might be the bare minimum necessary for digital operation, I would like to get the OmniRig drivers working so that I can get my logging program (Log4OMv2) working alongside another app to follow the freq. I know there is a HamLib option in Log4OM, but I can't get that to work (it is native in JTDX) so I am wondering... Is there anyone who has their 847 working with bi-directional CAT control? If so, what cables are you using with what software? Micky K1XH
Spence G5STO All Messages By This Member #393 开云体育 Hi Mick, I use PSTRotator and Omni Rig (special Yaesu FT847 .ini file revision). ? When I change band or mode then Omni rig picks up on the change. ?Let me send a version of OmniRig that I know works with this .ini and then please let me know if you get some kind of results.

Micky Corrow All Messages By This Member #394 开云体育 Thanks Spence, I would love to try a different approach to this problem other than the cable/comm/driver changes I have been struggling with.

Spence G5STO All Messages By This Member #395 Run this zip. Then copy the Folder with the .ini files in it to the OmniRig folder and then select the PST version of FT847.... eg: FT847 or FT847PST. This version was modded for better Bi-Directional comms with PSTRotator as the display failed to change with the standard version. Please let me know if it helps.

Spence G5STO All Messages By This Member #396 Just to follow up. I'm using a standard Null modem cable pins 2 and 3 crossed over and 5 GND. That goes to a Brain Boxes Industrial RS232 to USB. US-25701 and although its a bit of a pig to setup?it works incredibly?well at forcing?COM2 and COM4 pots Hope it helps? de Spence M0STO toggle quoted message Show quoted text On Tue, Mar 8, 2022 at 5:02 PM Micky Corrow via <opus=[email protected]> wrote: Greetings All While I am trying to get my 847 setup for digital operations such as FT8, I have come across a CAT control problem.

k9wkj All Messages By This Member #412 the CAT on one of mine works bidirectional with every software I have tried using whatever nullmodem cable and either? a USB to Serial thingy or a hardware port remember, unless you changed it in the radio the baud rate is 57,600 my other 847 has a issue with either the multiplexer chip or the line from the CPU is dead I have spent time with that, but its pretty deep surgery I should revisit that
