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 making the fix for free years ago. Now they just send a canned "we can't help you" email. I did reach one tech who explained that it wasn't just the firmware fix we always thought it was. -------- Original message -------- From: Black Michael via wsjt-devel <wsjt-devel@lists.sourceforge.net> Date: 10/8/18 9:46 AM (GMT-06:00) To: WSJT software development <wsjt-devel@lists.sourceforge.net> Cc: Black Michael <mdblac...@yahoo.com> Subject: Re: [wsjt-devel] Yaesu FT-847 What version of WSJT-X are you using right now? Looks like we need a new rig entry for the earlier serial #'s and I can build you one for testing. de Mike W9MDB On Monday, October 8, 2018, 9:34:22 AM CDT, Shane Stroud <shanestroud1...@hotmail.com> wrote: 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 8GXXXX. Mine is an 8EXXXX series. In any version of WSJT, under any operating system, the rig will set frequency and mode, then error out because it cannot respond to polling. I'm not sure if this needs fixed in WSJT or in hamlib, but other hamlib programs seem to work with the rig without issue. _______________________________________________ wsjt-devel mailing list wsjt-devel@lists.sourceforge.net<mailto:wsjt-devel@lists.sourceforge.net> https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/wsjt-devel
