I am glad you found out one of the cool things about the digirig. I programmed my KX2 and did a software update with it. One more thing to mention I am running FT8 with iFTX to do FT8 with my iPad. I am using my iPad, Digirig and my KX2. How cool is that, I bet you could do the same with your FT818.
Thank you! Your instructions worked perfectly. I already had the DR hooked up to my 818 for FT8. I just had to download Chirp. What's even better is that our local ARES group has a CSV file of all the commonly used frequencies in the area. It was a simple download from the radio into chirp, import the CSV, then upload to the 818. Glad you did this video.
It's always good to put out all the options. I need an 8 pin so i can use my digirig with my old ass ft-100. That's the only jack i haven't been able to find out here. Thanks for the content, brother. 🤙🏾
I've also been thinking about buying a Digirig...this makes it more likely that I will. As you say, programming (in my case) the 817nd manually is a PITA, to the point where I don't often bother using mine for FM/repeaters. 73 Mike and many thanks, G0CIQ
I discovered, out of the blue, much like have now done, that I could program repeaters into my FT-818 not long after I got the Digirig last year. I've had to restore the programming a few times after resetting the radio in an attempt to solve some other issues. My radio club net controllers often comment on the audio qualitywhen I use the FT-818 on our FM net instead of my FT3D.

That's funny, I had to get that sorted out myself last night after grabbing a used 818. Good stuff!

Thx Mike. Good to know.
RT Systems is another easy and great option!

The only radios i love more than my 818 are the ICOM IC-705 and Elecraft KX2.
I was able to use the RT software with the Digirig also on an IC 7000
Nice video.
Slick!
Very cool! Thank you for another great video. 72
How about the 857? I guess I'll check if it works, although I already programmed it a long time ago. I think some repeaters changed PL tone though
818 gets air band???
Elite hacker.
DAMN, Mike! I was holding off on buying a DigiRig until I had a good reason. I think I found the reason...
🤣🤪
Happy New Year.
