[Dx4win] Help: Yaesu FT-897 CAT control not communicating with DX4Win
Thank you all for useful information that helped me to solve my problem for the Yaesu FT-897 rig control. The solution as suggested: Use the "Yaesu FT847.RIG" file in the DX4WIN/Radio archive and make a copy that is renamed to "Yaesu FT897.RIG" With Word Pad the file is edited as follows: [[GENERAL] MODEL=Yaesu FT897"New name" NOTES=Experimental "New comment" DATE=36536 FLOW= 1.00E+0002 FHIGH= 4.70E+0005"470 MHz high frequency" BAUD=4800 "Tested also 9600 and 34200 OK" DATAB=1 STOPB=1"2 stop bits as per manual also OK" . Save this file and restart DW4WIN. Now you should find FT897 in the window "Preferences/Radio". I have clicked DTR and RTS buttons high. The rig will be in "Locked" mode after starting the radio by DX4WIN. If you unlock by pressing the rig button "Lock" the rig will be unlocked and manual tuning, mode change etc. etc. will be available. Everything except the DX4WIN radio panorama function seems to be working as specified. It seems as the S-meter data is not interpreted by DX4WIN, scanning and frequency update is running OK. 73 de Erik/SM0JCA - Original Message - From: "Marc Wullaert ON4MA" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "Victor West" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>; "Erik Mellgren" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>; ; "Steve Bookout" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Saturday, March 01, 2003 7:29 AM Subject: Re: [Dx4win] Help: Yaesu FT-897 CAT control not communicating with DX4Win > if you look in the archives ,there was a post some 2years ago > what you could change tho read correct the mode from a yaesu ft1000 > maybe this could also help ... > > 73 > on4ma > > - Original Message - > From: "Victor West" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > To: "Victor West" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>; "Erik Mellgren" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>; > ; "Steve Bookout" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > Sent: Saturday, March 01, 2003 2:14 AM > Subject: Re: [Dx4win] Help: Yaesu FT-897 CAT control not communicating with > DX4Win > > > > To add a bit more, I noticed that DX4WIN reads SSB when the FT897 is set > to > > the digital modes.

Hello all, I was chatting the other day with VE7QC and he was wondering the same thing. Both of us knowing that many of the rig drivers are the same, he checked a few out (Yeasu ones) and found that the driver for the FT-847 works when set to 4800 baud rate. 73 de Steve, NR4M At 11:02 AM 2/28/2003 -0600, Victor West wrote: >I too am waiting for a driver for the FT-897. > >de Vic, AE5DX > > >- Original Message - >From: "Erik Mellgren" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> >To: >Sent: Thursday, February 27, 2003 4:25 PM >Subject: [Dx4win] Help: Yaesu FT-897 CAT control not communicating with >DX4Win > > > > DX4WIN has no radio setting for my Yaesu FT-897 rig.

Tnx Steve Just tried it and it appears to work fine. Reads band and mode OK from the radio and setting the frequency appears to work. Clicking on a spot appears to work OK. I "copied" the FT847 in the radio database, then changed the baud rate and renamed it to FT897. de Vic, AE5DX - Original Message - From: "Steve Bookout" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "Victor West" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>; "Erik Mellgren" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>; Sent: Friday, February 28, 2003 6:24 PM Subject: Re: [Dx4win] Help: Yaesu FT-897 CAT control not communicating with DX4Win > Hello all, > > I was chatting the other day with VE7QC and he was wondering the same > thing.
