The biggest gotcha is with Windows 11.? It adds some extra sound configuration capabilities that require configuring which were not available or required under Windows 10.

In Windows 10, all you had to do for the audio path was select the proper USB Audio Codec entry in fldigi audio settings.? Under Windows 11 this is likely to be insufficient and you may find it doesn't work.

In Windows 11, they added the ability to configure in the Sound Settings for each application which? audio source it should use.? If Windows points the apps to the "default" audio source, which is the default behavior, then it doesn't matter which audio you have configured in fldigi. It will get what Windows gives it.

You will want to go into sound settings and be sure that your USB Audio Codec is not set to be the default for either audio or communications (phone calls).

Then launch the ham radio app (fldigi, js8call, wsjt-x, Vara Modem, etc.) and in the sound settings you can configure those apps to use the rig's USB Audio Codec.

You can also go into sound settings and rename the rig's USB Audio Codec to include the rig name. This is handy if you have multiple rigs so when they are connected you would see "FT-710 Microphone" or "TS-590SG Speaker" instead of the standard "USB Audio Codec" label.

Ok Dave Thanks, that must be the case then. It is actually a third party app talking to flrig over the api port where I noticed. Like KD4C noted that if I use the bands on the radio and/or the buttons for bands in flrig its fine.

Thanks all & 73

Hi,

I wonder if there is something in flrig that when you change bands via set vfo that flrig sends the state of tuner on or off to the next band? Is this by intention or lack of some feature? I can change the bands manually via the radio controls and radio recalls the last known state for band instead. But when I do this in FLRIG it sets tune on. This is Rev 2.0.05. Can this be fixed so it recalls what is set in the radio per band?

I have an early FT-847, and I built my own home-brew interface ( audio transformers and level controls ) to include VOX PTT.? The radio does NOT have VOX, so I had to build my own and placed it inside the interface box.? I run PTT and transmit audio through the mic jack.? My receive audio comes from the headphone jack.

I have never used the DATA in/out jack.? However, it uses a stereo plug with tip set as audio out and PTT.? You must add a 10uf cap and a 2K resister.? (See the manual page 16.)? Ring is audio in and GND is ground.

Note: "Generally, prior to the 8G05 production run, there was one main problem in the design of the radio: it only had unidirectional CAT control for frequency and mode (i.e., you could only use the PC to command the rig but not to report the rig frequency and mode back to the software on the PC). Beginning with production run 8G05, the radios have bidirectional CAT for frequency and mode (PC commanding the rig, and the rig reporting information to the PC). In the USA (at least), Yaesu offered to upgrade all radios older than 8G05xxxx under warranty, which involved replacing a computer chip in the radio and some other modifications. Many people with earlier rigs took Yaesu up on their offer."

If he installed yaesu drivers,is there a enhanced and standard port created

Can one use CAT for PTT when using digital modes and using the Data In Out port for audio with the FT847?

Asking for a friend; I don't have an 847 to test. ( This won't work with a Kenwood. )

Thanks;
