VHF Packet audio


 

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 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.

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

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'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.

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.

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
