#MACLOGGERDX WSJT INSTALL#
Unplug any USB cable running to radio and then install the driver. Now this is the important part‚ make sure the radio is not connected to the computer when you install the driver file. You are looking for the USB driver and it is towards the bottom of the page labeled: FT-891/ SCU-17 USB Driver (Virtual COM Port Driver). Go to the Yaesu website‚ navigate to the FT-891 page and click on the files tab. First off you will need to install the Yaesu USB driver. Technically you don’t need the CAT control as you can run the Signalink using the radio set to VOX but when the CAT is enabled you will also have the ability to change bands and modes automatically from the program which is a lot easier than manually fiddling around and changing settings. Finally you’ll need a second USB cable for the CAT control. You can do that yourself or purchase the Signalink jumper kit for that radio.
The Signalink will need to be jumpered for the FT-891. To begin we will need the following: A Signalink Audio Interface with the USB cable and 6 pin data cable. We’re going to focus on WSJT-X but really once you get it set up and running‚ you should be able to take that knowledge and do the same with FLDigi or Ham Radio Deluxe. In this video we will do three things: set up the Yaesu-FT-891 for CAT or computer control‚ adjust the digital mode settings in the transceiver‚ and configure WSJT-X for FT-8. I just got a SignalLink myself! Do you have a video where you describe your SignalLink setup?
#MACLOGGERDX WSJT HOW TO#
With that said‚ getting everything to work for digital on the FT-891 isn’t a straightforward process and I received a few questions‚ like this one on how to set things up: And the second is that system sounds won’t bleed into your operation as they will be routed through the computer’s audio device. First is that it provides audio isolation so you don’t end up with hum or ground loops. My preference is to use the Signalink as it has two definite advantages over the patch cable route. So you will either need to use patch cables to move the audio between the computer and the transceiver‚ or use an audio interface like the Signalink. While many newer transceivers have built in sound cards that make configuration for digital modes easier‚ the FT-891 does not have a built in sound card.
