Thank you!!
I have an 878UVii Plus but am fairly far from local stations, so I’m going to try out a Motorola XTL5000 VHF 50w mobile.

Interesting that I can’t get my 878 to transmit. If I hook up FT3 it works fine. Wonder what setting in the 878 needs to be changed.

[@KH6ML]

I wish I knew how to help best of luck

[@michaelgreis4037]

Aloha Michael. I have the new digirig, and cables. I went to driver download site Silabs and viewed 10 downloads. Which one of those, 10 downloads should I use?

[@KH6ML]

Did you find what you needed?

[@michaelgreis4037]

Is that the same way you would setup the digirig and anytone 878 for packet?

[@KH6ML]

Aloha Michael! Yes same for packet. I have used with Packet winlink and APRS apps. Let me know how it goes!
