The SignaLink is excellent interface and can get a USB version.? Also I am sure you can get the custom cable for the FT817, I did once for the fT857.? It plugged into the rear DATA port on the fT817.

I use the signalink. It¡¯s older, but solid. Well supported, good isolation, etc. It¡¯s not the cheapest solution, but I also didn¡¯t have to spend time setting everything up, it ¡°just worked¡±, and has worked with any computer I¡¯ve hooked it to: my Mac, several raspberry pis, windows laptops, etc.

?I'm planning to venture into FT8 for the first time, and I'm going to use my FT-817.? I'm looking for a USB interface (w/ sound card), and it looks like the SignaLink SLUSB6PM might be the most popular solution.? Is that the right model # for the '817?? The SignaLink has been around a long time... maybe too long (I'm wondering if there's something newer and better that's in the same price range)??
If you're operating FT8 (or other digital modes) on your FT-817, which interface are you using?
Any suggestions/comments much appreciated.? Thanks much!
