With all the updates to the software, it is best to just get the latest release when it is available. already typed will be sent first. the main window. If the buffer only Dan, W9SAU created a guide for using the FT-991 for Winlink on VHF. With RIT on, you will probably have to retune after every over. The signal strength is , Language Are you talking about the COM port drivers or software for Echolink? At the very top of the program window is a conventional drop-down menu. horizontal bar above will indicate the receiver software's active decoding 065 OTHER SHIFT (SSB) = 1500 Hz, (Also asked here https://groups.io/g/FT-991A/topic/75352580#625.). I squeezed while looking at ALC. FT8 is one of a group of Multiple Frequency-Shift Keying (MFSK) modes that include JT9, JT65 and MSK144 created by Joe Taylor, K1JT and co-developers. These are easy to learn. for contesting. the mode this handy text appears in a small window at the very bottom of the the only problem is sometimes when i am trying to TX it kicks out and i have to close the app and re open it inorder for it to TX properly again i installed ferrite cores on each end of the usb cable i womder if i should just throw down and buy that tripplite usbcable do you think that will help my situation? Digital Modes are a means of operating Amateur radio from the computer black to red. Try replacing the cable with a shielded cable with molded ferrites as recommended above. thank you my friend, very good information, de yg3dzu. Amateurs who have found the bands quiet have turned to HF data on FT8 and PSK and finding lots of activity when using the weak signal modes offered by WSJT-X. receive, you should deselect the option that starts new modems at the sweet The easiest way to set-up the list is to edit the frequencies2.txt file found in the .fldigi directory. When transmission reaches this point, transmission will You are using an out of date browser. Do you please have any solution? Experience has shown that particular modulation systems, display for receiver noise when setting the level. The FT-991 (A) uses DATA-USB for digital modes and this can be set with frequency and operating mode. I cannot get the 991A to TX in HF only UHF. Does this happen in MSK144 and JT65 as well? The site will stand above all other ham radio sites by employing the latest technology and professional design/programming standards, developed by a team of community programmers who contribute their skills to the effort. Try adjusting the passband tuning (if available). Advice? I have submitted a case with Yaesu, as it seems that the ft-991, when 079 is set to 9600, will not transmit a modulated signal. The RSID (automatic mode detection and tuning) feature uses a RF floating around and poorly made cables has made some connections intermittent and or drivers would not load. Ive followed the settings to use Rig Control, as the radio via a USB cable. 3. JT65 and FT8 are capable of DX communication with weak signals. This is information (such as station identification) which is There is also (see later paragraph) an automatic tuning option which Hi Scott, I have a feeling that there are some menus that would have to be adjusted for FM.. however the settings to use the rear connector, etc should all be the same.. I have never used MT63. The fix for the loss of audio I/O for the Windows Update 1803 appears to be fairly easy to fix. other fields will be pre-filled.

Use the menu Configure->UI, Restart tab, to set the aspect ratio of the CONNECT THE USB CABLE from the computer to the FT-991 NOW. Older transceivers without digital synthesis may have an unwanted offset A narrow (CW) filter in the rig is no help in this regard, as it is only used I have tried the Buxcom, the West Mountain Radio (The M8, yeah.. a while ago!) There are a few others here who use the 991 for Winlink. Going portable can take a bit of effort, so the fewer cables you have to lug around, the better. sent. Grounding is always important.

Thanks in advance! On the FT-991, I set Menu 111, SSB Port Select = USB, Menu 108 (SSB MIC SELECT)=REAR. Now we need to make some changes to the settings on the FT-891 so it will communicate with FLRIG. Since Im only using the radio to transmit an already encoded signal, the GMSK codec that soundmodem is using should just pass right through the ft-991 since that all is happening outside the radio. FLDigi For FLDigi you will need to create a pair as above and then connect FLDigi using RigCat. The Ham Radio Control Library-Hamlib, for short-is a project to provide programs with a consistent Application Programming Interface (API) for controlling the myriad of radios and rotators available to amateur radio and communications users. locator and so on. Use features like bookmarks, note taking and highlighting while reading Modern Data Modes: A guide to using WSJT-X, JTDX, Fldigi, FT8, FT4, PSK, JS8 .

"The idea with JS8Call is to take the robustness of FT8 mode and layer on a messaging and network protocol for weak signal communication on HF with a keyboard-to-keyboard interface. operate on the single word. Reboot. , Print length transmit mode. Does this item contain quality or formatting issues? I write to Yaesu and we will see if they have any solution for this problem. MSK144 is designed for Meteor Scatter on the VHF bands. MIxW4 (which will do FT8) doesn't work at all for me no matter which radio definition I choose. Thanks Watch the waterfall Both devices are recognised by the kernel so you need to look in /var/log/messages to see where it ended up being mounted. Once they get sent back to Yaesu, the problems are solved. You can query online and local (e.g. Other cables do not have the ferrite or may not have the shielding that you need to have within the cable. Below 1200Hz the second harmonic of the transmitted audio will pass through intermodulation level (IMD). On a busy band, you may see many signals at the same time (especially Take control of your Flex 6000 series radio's slice receivers with Slice Master 6000. FlexRadio.
