    I use my 857D with wsjt-x and fldigi via digital VOX and a Signalink. I could never get the rig to communicate properly or consistently with the computer (Win 10 laptop) to enable rig control. So one day I tried solely digital VOX and it worked fine, but without rig control. For me, this is not a deal killer, so VOX it is. Take care, have fun, stay safe. 73 de Cliff W3KKO

  • @redtide08
    @redtide08 2 месяца назад

    I noticed something odd with FT8 on my 857d. When setting the transmit frequency in WSJT-X, the rig center frequency seems to be interpreted as the center of the SSB passband rather than the carrier frequency. Is that your experience as well?

    @frank wc0o - some sources claim that you should only use CAT rate 4800 bps with Yaesu857 when setting up menu #19 for use of digi modes. You recommended 38400 bps, do you feel that it works just fine, have you tested the lower 4800 bps?

    • @frankwc0o
      @frankwc0o  2 года назад +2

      I have never tried 4800 bps. You should try 4800 and if your results all good then you should keep it that way. It’s possible that other equipment could not go any higher than 4800 when this radio was first introduced . If you do decide to use 4800 come back and tell us if you liked it.

      4800 works fine with my 897 for all the digital modes I've tried. I had to do this rate as the port is shared with an AT897+ which runs at 4800.

      @@arafebi5414 Had very similar problem with Ft-857 running on old G73Jw Asus. I put ferrite beads over all of the USB cables, and the audio interconnect cables connected to Asus, and it fixed it. I think the asus was just too sensitive to RFI. The notebook lacks any good RF shielding, and there are very few ways to provide sufficient grounding. It took a bunch of ferrite beads on each cable.

    IF you use the AT897+ tuner, the baud rate can only be 4800.

      It’s true you need some type of interface so the computer can talk to the radio. You should look into digirig very easy to use. Check it out
