Yaesu FT-991a

[Robert Pickell]

I have a FT-991a that I would like to set up freeDV on. Is there a write up or video some where that can help me with getting what I need set up and working?

Hi Robert,

I don't have a FT-991a but in general:

1. Go to Tools->Audio Config. The radio's sound card is typically chosen for "Input To Computer From Radio" (Receive tab) and "Output From Computer To Radio" (Transmit tab).

2. Next, go to Tools->PTT Config. You can check "Use Hamlib PTT" and select "Yaesu FT-991" from the "Rig Model" drop down menu. The serial device is the same as what is configured for other applications for CAT control (e.g. WSJT-X).

and optionally (but recommended):

3. Go to Tools->Options:

a) In the "Reporting" tab, check "Enable Reporting" and enter your callsign and grid square.

b) In the "Modem" tab, check "Simultaneously Decode All HF Modes".

Hopefully that helps. Let me know if you have any other questions.

Thanks,

Somehow I didn't see the original email so replying to Mooneer's...

80%+ of the setup should be identical to any other digital setup with the only real difference being the 2nd sound card. 

Are you already setup for digital or starting from scratch?

Thanks,

Richard
