Excellent video!!!! thanks for posting!!!!!!! Subscribed

I believe there are several settings in the radio that have to be changed in order for this to work properly

I had a problem with the CAT control. The radio kept shifting the frequency around. I changed "split mode" in wsjtx to rig instead of fake it and that seems to fix my problem.

the new one allows the cat control now

Thanks for a gun case tip! Will give it a try! 73, K5WYS

I am not sure if that's a USB B plug.

Great walk-through of setting up the FT891 with the Digirig. Thanks!

i use the same radio with 2 antennas,3 80 amp hour costco marine batteries,2 100 watt panels,it does fairly well,its at 4100 ft in the sierras,its been running non stop for almost 2 years,i am going to upgrade the radio,and add 1 more panel,my panels are mounted almost vertical,it snows several feet every year,and would cover the panels,thanks,,WRXG377

Helpful video. A bit confusing about USB connectors. Your cable with USB -C on one end and USB-A at the opposite end. The “Printer cable is USB-A to B. B plugs into he radio (or printer).

Thanks for the video, going to be setting this up soon myself. Looks like you’re out in Pine? I’m over in Conifer, might have to hit you up for some advice on some things if you’re open to it!

why not let digirig do CAT control over the audio cable? this is a feature of digirig? - thanks!

I have both a four section fiberglass pole set as well as the aluminum mast kit. What I failed to have made before moving to the EU was an adapter that would allow the fiberglass masts to mount on top of the aluminum mast kit. This would allow isolation of the mast from the antenna wire at the upper most section of the mast. The aluminum mast kit is a bit awkward for one individual to set up and was used by two man crews in the military but it can be done. Might be a problem once I get the fiberglass mast sections added to the top of the aluminum. BTW those fiberglass tent poles were used to hold up camouflage tents in remote areas, they came with an unusual three section that look like snow shoes with a common center mount for the poles. This prevented the poles from punching through the camo tents. 73!

Excellent explanation on this rig! Now I have to setup for the legacy FT857, not the D version and rock and roll!

Thank you for the amount of detail found in this video. Up until now, its been a lot of piecing together info from multiple sources. Having some issues connecting but it was great to hear the modem dial etc by the end of the video. 73!

Did it make any difference after you installed it? I was thinking of putting HF in 21 Ram and was unsure if I would face the same issue.

Great job with the off grid repeater mate.

Congrats on the first SOTA activation!!!! A lot of people would have sped up the set up, but there's a lot of value to showing it in real time, so I'm glad you did it this way. Can't wait to finally do some of this stuff myself!

Great advice for anyone trekking out to the boonies by themself. I've had lots of fun on my bikes out in the middle of nowhere, but I'm really looking forward to getting a similar setup for doing some POTA/SOTA stuff finally. Great way to have fun, but safety and multiple backup plans have to be in the forefront for sure!

Thanks - Sometimes this digital mode stuff is way to convoluted. You made it simple. Almost plug n play thank you 73

Thanks so much for this awesome video! Explanations I've seen (or read) before have always resulted in my having more questions than answers, but your explanation was incredibly thorough. I'm so glad I've stumbled upon your channel. Cheers and 73!

I just downloaded the CP210x_Universal Window Driver file. Right click on silabser (setup info...a 2kb file), but there was no "install" option. Ideas?

15:03 You described USB A and B the wrong way round. USB A is the rectangular host connector that goes to the computer. USB B is the almost square device connector that goes to the radio. The cable must be USB 2.0. The USB 3.0 A plug is backwards compatible with a USB 2.0 host, but the USB 3.0 B plug is not backwards compatible with a USB 2.0 device.

I would love to see how you have that hamstick mounted to your truck. Thank you

Great video. I’m looking for good radio settings. Do you have a list of radio settings?

Finally got my 891 to work! Only think different in my end was the two COMM Ports picked up were switched up from this video. On yours’ and other videos, the COMM Port labeled “Enchanced” was the lower number one. Mine on the other hand was the high sequential number. Once I selected that comm port labeled as “Enhanced” it worked without issue!

Nice video I’m about to make one very similar antenna that’s for the video

Were you using HAMRS to log? Nice video, thanks.

Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! I was thinking I had a faulty unit. Again, thank you! K3SLH

Your background remembers me of Red Dead Redemption, only the bear is missing hehehe 73!

Best rope for pulling over tree branches is what the arborists use and that's zingit throwline with a throwbag.

288 at the time im posting this. Great videos and thanks for making them.

Hey mate, is it OK to feature your clip in my Channel? It will be credited in the description & comments section with your name watermarked on the clip. Thanks, DU

I'm not so sure its necessary to install yaesu's software. You are interfacing with the digirig and not the radio itself. I could be wrong though.

Good Job on the Antenna Setup. I could not do this any better myself...73 de Uncle Günter from the other Side of the World 💯👍🙋‍♂

Is that the $80 micro center laptop?

I have that lip mount. I like it a lot. It does scratch your paint, however.

What brand is the tower sections?

god job 73

Interesting to see repeaters that are only in cabinets and not also in a 'shack'. Most around here that I'm familiar with are in an actual small building. I guess this shows that it can be done on a smaller scale with the proper cabinet, etc.! Looks like a good location...minus those switchbacks. lol

My wife loves Kara and Nate’s videos. She would have made me plow the driveway for them 😂

You need a few snap on chokes on all oeads in/out the laptop to stop RFI from locking it up. The antenna is only a matter of inches away. Good luck

Very nice video! A question that comes to my mind: why are you setting up wire antennas when you live in such a nice place for a multiband yagi or quad? Look for status quad :) the bands are completely different when you have them. 73!

And you was right I did have to have a paid prescription to QRZ for my auto lager to work from my ft8 thanks for the information that got me up and running and got me to log in on QRC from my ft 8. Thanks 73 K4BWN

These videos will be reference for years 😊 I’m waiting for you to teach how to connect it to n1mm for at control and send cw. If it’s possible I’ll buy the digirig. Thanks and 73!

Very useful. 4s7EF

Joseph, thank you very much for posting this! It’s easy to follow and very helpful!

Great content Joseph 👌 👏

I have gotten more help from you emails on my Digirig and cable's with my Yeasu FT-891 for FT8 I am on line now I think I have gotten 100 contacts since the last time we emailed this weekend. 73 K4BWN

I realize that I said we'd do the giveaway at 300 subs in the video. I misspoke and forgot to take care of that while editing the video. We will do the giveaway at 500 subs and I apologize for any confusion. Thank you all so much for your support and continuing ti watch, subscribe and like the videos - it makes it all worth it!

I went to high school in Longmont I now live in Texas. I do go home to Durango from time to time. I do Parks on the air on a regular basis. Lately I have been at K-10274 I hope to work you one day. I would like to see you do a live stream like ham jazz VK7BIX dose. Carry on WQ9V.
