Hello Alan (vk2ziw),
CAT is sort of important to WSPR users as this allows us to do automated
band hopping, it also helps to stop spotting of activity on the wrong band
(WSPR and other modes) as if WSJT-X has a CAT link then it will know when
you change the frequency on the rig and then change the
which you also don't need if you have a clean audio chain with reasonably
flat response and you don't drive it into clipping!

Bill.
77 bit mode is only to be used for testing on the two frequencies as
listed in the v2.0 Quick Start guide. It should not be used on normal
FT8 frequencies, so worrying about answering legacy FT8 messages on the
testing frequencies, or 77 bit messages on the normal frequencies, is
no
Well, other than the 'fake it' frequency control options to keep the tx
audio in the middle of the passband...

It is a myth that you need CAT for digital modes. In fact you don't need it at
all.

CAT... because that's kinda the point with most digital modes these days.
And it's an FT-847, not 840.

Hi all,
Why do you need CAT control at all?
What's really needed is a rig with Stability.
Any rig with a digital VFO will do.
My 2c.
Yes, I have an FT-840 and it's OK.

Ok. I tried some tests.
I do decode both 77 bit and old messages
I had a buddy send an old cq and 77 bit cq.
I decided both.
But I did not select the always generate 77 bit messages so I expected to
answer with the format I decoded. That was not the case ???
Is this intended operation? I know f
I also have an early FT-847 with SN beginning with 8G. I was one of the
earliest adopters of that rig. I wish there was a way to upgrade the firmware.
I have not tried it with WSJT-X but will do so and report back to the group.

I am still using 1.9.1 Linux amd64 deb, but I could easily be persuaded to
upgrade. And I'm a willing guinea pig.
Yes. An early identification tag of some kind would help.
The fix wasn't just firmware. It required replacement of the entire AF board.
Yaesu discontinued their practice of makin
FT-840UNI would be OK. “Early” or “NoGet” would require the user to know more
about what’s going on with these devices.

This also seems to be the case with my early Yaesu FT-840 - it can receive
CAT commands, but does not report anything back.

What can we call these earlier rigs to make the apparent in the riglist?
FT-840EARLY ???OrFT-840UNI (unidirectional)FT-840NOGET
Or any better idea?

Looks like we need a new rig entry for the earlier serial #'s and I can build
you one for testing.

I have discovered that the early serial numbered models of the Yaesu FT-847 had
unidirectional CAT. Basically, the software can send frequencies and modes to
the rig, but the rig cannot respond. This applies to serial numbers through
about 8G. Mine is an 8E series.
