fc40 operation with ft897d


Dave
 

Hi to the group,
I am at present thinking of purchasing an ft897d plus the fc40 atu can
you tell me if it is possible to run the fc40 and at the same time be
able to take a feed to my pc from the cat interface for frequency
readout etc for my logging and digital mode programs ,or is there an
adapter cable available that will let me feed both .
Many thanks from
Dave gm6jus

YES, you use the 8pin cat5 MIC input, and select the MIC input as
"CAT" (see the userguide).

I'm doing that... you do need to configure a different way to connect
the audio from the mic to MIC AUDIO IN, if you are not using DIGITAL
modes, but its not a difficult thing to do either. (Simple wiring in
fact).

Cheers
Clive

Check out the following.



This interface in conjunction with the added YCC04 cable will give
you just what you want.

The YCC04 cable allows this unit to be used on the FT857 and FT897 as
a CAT interface for use via the mic socket. The adapter (included
with the YCC04) also allows the mic to be in circuit.

This frees up the CAT port for you tuner.
