FT8 is a full duty cycle mode and prolonged use can be really hard on your transceiver and antenna. Turn your HF power down to 20 or 40 watts. Choose USB for Upper Sidebandįinally scrolling all the way to menu 16-03. Your options are Lower sideband or Upper sideband. We are using the rear port with the Signalink That’s request to send and set it to disable We’re going to use the fastest speed though. You can actually use any baud rate as long as you use the same value in WSJT. Menu 5-6 is CAT rate and you can set that to 38‚400 bits per second. I’ve got all these settings and the corresponding menu numbers in the video description below.įirst we need to set the baud rate for the CAT control. We’ll start at the first menu setting and scroll through‚ pausing at the spots where you will need to change or adjust the settings. Go over to your FT-891 and give the Function F button a long press.

Moving on to the second step‚ once we’ve got the driver installed‚ we need to adjust some settings in the radio. If the installation didn’t work or you didn’t get two com ports‚ then disconnect everything restart the computer and try again. The standard port handles rig control and the enhanced port push to talk signaling. The first or lower numbered com port is the enhanced com port and the second one is the standard com port. They could be a Com3 and Com4 or they could be two other sequential numbers‚ but they will be in order.
You’ll know that the installation is a success if you go into your Windows Device Manager and under Ports COM and LPT you will see two com ports. Windows will complete the driver installation. Once the driver is installed‚ turn on the radio and plug it into the computer.
#HAM RADIO DELUXE VS MACLOGGERDX INSTALL#
Unplug any USB cable running to radio and then install the driver. Now this is the important part‚ make sure the radio is not connected to the computer when you install the driver file.
You are looking for the USB driver and it is towards the bottom of the page labeled: FT-891/ SCU-17 USB Driver (Virtual COM Port Driver). Go to the Yaesu website‚ navigate to the FT-891 page and click on the files tab. First off you will need to install the Yaesu USB driver. Technically you don’t need the CAT control as you can run the Signalink using the radio set to VOX but when the CAT is enabled you will also have the ability to change bands and modes automatically from the program which is a lot easier than manually fiddling around and changing settings. Finally you’ll need a second USB cable for the CAT control. You can do that yourself or purchase the Signalink jumper kit for that radio. The Signalink will need to be jumpered for the FT-891. To begin we will need the following: A Signalink Audio Interface with the USB cable and 6 pin data cable. We’re going to focus on WSJT-X but really once you get it set up and running‚ you should be able to take that knowledge and do the same with FLDigi or Ham Radio Deluxe. In this video we will do three things: set up the Yaesu-FT-891 for CAT or computer control‚ adjust the digital mode settings in the transceiver‚ and configure WSJT-X for FT-8. I just got a SignalLink myself! Do you have a video where you describe your SignalLink setup?

With that said‚ getting everything to work for digital on the FT-891 isn’t a straightforward process and I received a few questions‚ like this one on how to set things up: And the second is that system sounds won’t bleed into your operation as they will be routed through the computer’s audio device. First is that it provides audio isolation so you don’t end up with hum or ground loops.

My preference is to use the Signalink as it has two definite advantages over the patch cable route. So you will either need to use patch cables to move the audio between the computer and the transceiver‚ or use an audio interface like the Signalink. While many newer transceivers have built in sound cards that make configuration for digital modes easier‚ the FT-891 does not have a built in sound card.
