Issues with Yaesu FT-847

[James Hall]

Hello All:

I had some time to work with SkyRoof on my desktop and my FT-847. I have the radio connected to the computer via MicroHam DigiKeyer. CAT is set to COM 12.

Using the latest Hamlib, I could not get CAT to work with any radio type in settings. I tried SatPC32 and there was no problem connecting to the FT-847. I tried flRig and it connected fine. So I tried Hamlib again but choosing -m 4 for flRig. Alas, CAT would not work with this setup either in SkyRoof with this radio.

Just a report for Alex. If there is something I can do to help with this, please let me know.

I am finishing the new CAT engine that will replace rigctld.exe. In a few days I will need help from you and other users to test it with different radios.

I’ll be all over it, Alex. Many thanks !!
