Greetings. I know it probably has been discussed an unknown number of times previously, but I want to start using my 847 in the digital modes, both on HF as well as 6M + VHF/UHF. I want the members here to create the Ultimate FT-847 Digital Guide. Let me take a moment to describe my setup - I have separate antennas and amplifiers for each output on the 847. Each amp is hard-keyed by the 847, via a special breakout cable I obtained on ebay. It works great. I don't want to use the mic input on the front of the radio for data, I have a mic connected there and I don't want to be switching cables for different bands. I have a laptop running JTDX and FLDigi, I would like to use CAT control to manage frequencies, but it is not cast in stone. I know how to push buttons and spin the dial... I use Log4OM v.2 for logging, and I use JTAlert for needed entities alerts. I have all three (minus FLDigi) apps integrated with each other to work seamlessly. The big unknown is the FT-847. I would like suggestions on how to integrate the computer with the radio so that I can feed it from the ports on the back and manage the drive and the ALC from the front. The laptop has an internal sound card that I feed some speakers with to hear the alerts, and an inexpensive USB sound card to feed the radio. If at all possible I would like to use CAT control to switch frequencies and modes, but so far that has been problematic for me, so suggestions there wouldn't hurt. In the end I would like to compile all the suggestions and guides into one document and upload it to the Files section so that others don't need to reinvent the wheel each time they dig into digital with the FT-847. Thanks in advance. Micky K1XH

Hi, I made a simple Eurocard prototype pcb to be able to use an FT817/857/897 CW filter in the FT847. The file is added to the files/mod directory.

Hi, I did the TCXO-9 mod on my FT847 but a little differently (and easier) as to what's already on the internet. It is performing fine and I did not find any unwanted side effects. If you're interested, drop me a mail and I will send it to you. bruno.beckers@... I wanted to upload it to the files menu but that seems to be impossible. 73, Bruno

Hi, I added a mod to the Files MOD folder to add the AGC_OFF functionality without destroying your transceiver.

Good morning Everyone. As the primary owner of this groupe, I have one moderator and a part time owner who is in concurance with me. We need someone to become a full partner with us, this is in case one or both of us go to the Great Ham Shack in the Sky somoe can actually do something on the board. Either with moderator privledges or as owner. Bill hasd said he doesn't mind being here, however, he and I are getting to that age. And as the primary owner, I am not in good enough health to tell you I'll be here tomorrow. I'm not sending this as a sob story, but I want to see this group of the Yaesu FT-847 keep open where people can ask questions on the great 847. You can either replie here or send me an email at n4mav1@.... Either way I'll get it. Please be aware that I probably not answer right then. I don't hang out on the cvomputer much after noon unless it is importent. I have a life to life on the outside sometimes. :) I hope everyone has a wonderful Christmas Holiday and a wonderful New Year coming up! 73 and thank for any help on here. Russ Abbey, N4MAV Floyd County, Virginia

This list has 158 members....and super quiet, I guess 158 people totally happy with their FT-847's I am 73 de Rob G4UJS

Hi Folks, On August 5, 2021 message #214 I had written the following message: "I am having a problem originating a message. Before I waste anyone's I would like to ask the following question of the group before proceeding. Is there anyone who has successfully installed and can run WinLink psp and Gateway messages without using CAT using a Yaesu FT-847?" I received a reply from A Greg D. that I had a difficult time understanding as I am still new to Amateur Radio. The mistake I made was not letting him know. Worse yet after reviewing the message I noted I missed the last line he wrote: "Or just buy a Signalink interface..." With hat in had and apologizes I need to state that I have a SignaLink for awhile now. I originally purchased it in order to run fldigi which works flawlessly. The problem I am having is I originating a message using P2P and using channel selection. If someone else originates a message I can do a P2P sometimes. It makes no difference whether I use VARA HF or ARDOP same problem. Telnet works fine. I have since learned that a fellow Ham with the same radio and SignaLink has the same problem with fldigi working correctly. I would like to get WinLink working so I can get involved with them. It's another tool for my Ham Radio tool box when things go belly up. Thank You, Steven/kc3dow

Ok folks, I have no idea what happened but after a reset I'm back in the group. No need for action boss. Leighton. GW3FSP.

I've just started using my 847 on 2m FT8. What's the maximum power everyones running with 2m FT8?

Hi I've never used the satellite facility on the FT-847. How does one set it up to work through the FM Repeater on the ISS. Is it possible to save the CTCSS Tone on the uplink? Any guidance would be appreciated. Regards Rob G4UJS

hi is anyone using the 847 for FT8. I've connected sound card to data in/out PTT is via CAT. i can RX stations with both JTDX and WSJT. When I hit tune the rig goes into TX but no power output..... its as if the audio isn't getting into the rig. As i am using CAT for PTT I haven't wired PTT to the tip of the data connector....is this my problem? HELP! 73 de Rob G4UJS

Hello. For a long time I have wanted to get into satellites. That will change next spring. A few questions: Question 1: I have a Yaesu FT-847. Is that still a very good radio to begin learning satellite operation? To get my feet wet, so to speak. Question 2. I am thinking of using the M2 Egg Beater antenna system, no rotor and tracking software to mess with, keeping things simple to begin with. Is the M2 Egg Beater antenna system really good for a newbie to start out with for satellite operation? I can always upgrade later. Question 3: Are there any groups dedicated to satellite operations, listserv, 开云体育, other, I should be subscribed to? I'm not aware of any here in the USA. Thank you, 73 Richard AG5M

I also have for sale a W2ENY products desk mic for Yaesu FT847, has 8 pin round mic connector on it. You can read more about it at: https://www.w2eny.com/deskmic/ Asking $30 shipped. I can take paypal/check/MO. 73 John AF5CC

Hello, I am looking for an automatic tuner (no FC20) for a FT847, which works well with this transceiver. Do you have a recommendation for me ? Many thanks in advance. 73 Rolf, DC1ZZ

I have for sale a Yaesu FT847 HF/6m/2m/70cm all mode transceiver in very good condition. This model does 100 watts on HF and 6 meters, and 50 watts on 2m and 70cm. It also does full duplex for satellite operations and has a built in CW keyer, tone encode, speech processor, DSP noise reduction, bandpass filtering, and notch filtering, and many other features. It is a nice compact size for taking mobile and portable also. It comes with a photocopy of the manual, the hand mic, and a very short power cord with powerpole connectors on it. It also has the original box and a CAT serial cable with it. It does CAT communications both ways and the power button works fine on it also. It also has the rare VS-1 voice synthesizer installed, but that needs 1 wire reattached to the wire harness. I am asking $650 plus shipping and can take paypal/check/MO. 73 John AF5CC

Has anyone used the Kenwood KPS-15 to power the FT-847? Chew 9V1YP

Anyone have a cell filter for the 847? -- Dirk Esterline PHS Spanish
