Jason, I don’t have a Yaesu radio and didn’t even know what CAT control was, but I found this video very educational. There are so many things we can do with ham radio, and being a long haul truck driver it is amazing to contemplate all the uses radio and Pi sbc’s can be put to. Thank you for all of your videos, each and everyone is a gem.
As usual, clear and concise.
This looks awesome. Great content as always!
Very cool.. I was contemplating building something like this that used wifi. It was wayyyyyyyyyyy on my back burner. No need now. Great video!
Thanks, Jason. I ordered my bluetooth cat control right after you published this video and it finally arrived. Note that it shows up as "BT04-A" for me.
I had a couple more arrive since the video and they are different than my original and yours. The script was modified to handle the various names :-)
I just bought 2 of these and both came up with the same ID.
I installed it this morning and it works. I had a little trouble installing it and I need to uninstall the script and reinstall it because of my error, I have to manually start the connection each time before I can use it. I wish everyone’s videos were clear and concise as yours are. Sometimes I’m just not as good at following precise directions as I should be. :-)
Glad you got it working. Linux can be picky at times. Just make sure your cross all of the T's and dot all of the I's :-)
Thank you Jason. I was lost as a fart in the wind. This got me squared away and running.
Great info Jason 👍👏👏
Thanks Jason, very helpful 🙂
thank you!
Great tutorial! It makes me get my good old FT-817 down from the shelf and blow a new Bluetooth spirit into it! Thanks! 73! Linas LY2H
Very good video! It helped a lot to solve an existing problem! Thanks! 73
I enjoyed the video. Have you done one on how to set up a SignaLink with the Yaesu 857-D and use WinLink? I also just got my Pi. Do you have a view list that would be the best order to watch and learn what to do and how to do it with a Pi and 857D? Thanks
Thanks, Jason, for the tutorial and the information. I'm wondering if you could give a little more detail about the hardware part of this install. Does the BT interface plug into the CAT port of the radio or is it an internal install?
It plugs right into the back of the radio where the CAT cable would normally connect.
Your videos are excellent. Please keep them coming. Quick question- does this Bluetooth procedure work with a Yaesu FT-891. I assume so since it’s in the same family of radios.
Won't work with the 891 as the 891 uses a different style CAT port.
Thx
Looks good. I tried ordering one a while back and kept getting refunded as none were in stock. Less wires is always a good thing! 73
Great video 👍

Absolutely amazing!
I gather the Bluetooth transceiver obtain power from the 817. How much does this reduce operating time with 817 internal battery? If at all.
If already having R-Pi close to radio, Would hard cable link from 817 to R-Pi use less power?
Thanks for everything you do.
It does get power from the radio but I have ever noticed any negative impact on battery life.
@@KM4ACK Thanks
This is great I wonder if anyone has figured out the same for data in order to do digital modes wirelessly.
I haven't seen it if it exists. It would be cool to have!
Great video Jason, thank you.
I've been able to get my 897 connected to my Debian 10 workstation. Receiving works well, however I can't seem to get the output sound through the bluetooth dongle. The 897 is put in send mode, but there's no signal going out. Any idea on how I could fix that?
Thanks! 73's.
The bluetooth dongle is for CAT control. It won't work for audio.
@@KM4ACK Thanks for getting back so soon Jason. Strange thing is, receiving audio and thus decoding digital, .e.g. FT8, works well when just using the dongle. Anyway, I've managed to direct the output audio through the data port of the 897 and that seems to do the trick.
Thanks again. 73's!
Great !!! I got it working on my FT-817, but I haven't had any success with my FT-857... Anyone made it work on a 857?
hi Jason. Do you have any experience with Arduino's cat libraries for the 817? They have been conceived for serial cat control. Do you know how easy would be to use them with Bluetooth?
I don't have any experience with Arduino. Sorry
great info I bought mine received it 04/11/21 but my unit's ID was different it was BT04-A so not all are gonna be like yours "SPP-CA" other than that everything else worked fine
Thanks for the heads up!
@@KM4ACK no worries got your back BTW just passed my General on Friday. So now my 857D will get better use.
Congrats on General! Time to POTA 😃. BTW.... my other BT controllers showed up this afternoon. Like yours they are the BT04.
Having trouble becoming a Patreon member. Every time I select PayPal as my method I get an error message saying to refresh the page and try again.
How did you get the pi stats working in the left side of the screen? Doesn't work on mine even though I used build-a-pi
Are you referring to Conky on the right side of the screen? It is available to install with build a pi. If it isn't working after you install, post over in the forum and we will do our best to get it up and running for you. groups.io/g/KM4ACK-Pi/topics
@@KM4ACK I did try running Conky, just got a lot of unhappyness on the terminal and no gui, Wilco QSY forums
Fantastic Jason =) I wonder if ICOM ad Kenwood have the same possibilities /-) de N5VMO Pat
Haven't seen one of the dongles made for other rigs.
Hi, is there any Andoid app for?
I created my own BT Adapter. Voltageregulator(step down) and HC-06 modul.
Not that I am aware of
Yes there is: Pocket RXTX by YO3GGX
I immediately went to eBay and ordered one. I’ll be trying it out on a FT-100D. I’ll let you know how it goes. How long did you wait to get yours. Mine will be here in 4 to 6 weeks.
My first one came from a US supplier and took less than a week. I couldn't find them again on eBay when I went to reorder. My other order should arrive in 4-6 weeks like yours.
@@KM4ACK You caused a run on the market. When I ordered mine there were only 9 left in China. :)
@@larrytaylor7753 Oh boy! I wouldn't think my little channel could sell out china. LOL!
@@KM4ACK I have a video suggestion/request. Do I do that here or is there an email you prefer?
@@larrytaylor7753 either is fine
Be nice if there was one for the 891
Wonder if a custom cable could be made? USB to mini din?
any idea if this works with the ft-891?
It won't. The 891 uses a different style of connector for CAT control.
@@KM4ACK Does the 891 just use the USB?
Will this work on the 818?
I haven't tested on the 818 but see no reason it shouldn't work.
What about yaesu ft-891
To my knowledge, no Bluetooth controller exists for the 891.
But you didn't show how it hooks up to the radio
It direct connects to the mini din CAT port on the back of the 817/857.
ok ok, I see you're VNC'd into a Pi and then VNC'd in again.... what do you have up your sleeve magician? ;-)
Got me! That’s the way my shack rolls. Every pi connect to the “master” pi so I can reach each of them with ease. 😃 not unusual to have 4+ pi’s open at the same time in different VNC sessions.
mny tnx! 73 de do3mib
