![]() ![]() WSJT-X settings – Omni-RigĬhoose as Rig: OmniRig Rig 1 and CAT for the PTT Method.Īt this point, you should see your VFO frequency in WSJ-T and be able to force one of the frequencies set by WSJT-X to the FT-991. In WSJT-X, go to File / Settings and the Radio tab. WSJT-X, very powerful software to work on certain digital modes like the FT8 will communicate with Omni-Rig to exchange the data of the FT-991. The COM port here is port 2 which is free on your PC and which we created with VSPE in the form of ‘Splitter’.Īt this point, if you change the frequency of your VFO, you should see the parameter exchange scrolling through Omni-Rig. ![]() Position the parameters as in the picture. Click on Open Dialog to access the settings. Omni-Rigĭownload and install OmniRig, CAT control software. Don’t forget to save your configuration in a file to find it later. We create a ‘Serial Redirector’ from Com2 to Com7.ĭo not launch other applications before VSPE, it may occupy ports and VSPE will refuse configuration. In my case, I also want to send the info to an Arduino connected to port 7, which controls other equipment. We find the basic parameters of the link to the FT-991, namely 38400 baud, 8 bits, 2 stop bits, no parity. At launch, it offers you to buy a license, answer no, and it works perfectly.Ĭreate the Com4 gateway from FT-991 to virtual Com2 using a ‘Splitter’. This will connect Omni-Rig and other applications or hardware.ĭownload VSPE from the internet. To be able to connect several devices / software to the FT991, port 4 will be copied to virtual port 2 using the VSPE (Virtual Serial Port Emulator) software. Ports – Gestionnaires de périphériques VSPE Locate the Enhanced Com port number of your FT-991 and a free unoccupied port, for example 2, in the example below. On your PC, open the Control Panel, go to the System – Device Management section and open the list of ports. You must now program the ‘computer aided transceiver (CAT)’ interface of the transceiver by going to the menu: The FT991 is connected via a USB cable to the PC, having installed the driver for Windows that can be found on the Yaesu site in the section ‘Amateur RadioįT-991A/ SCU-17 USB Driver (Virtual COM Port Driver) ![]() The procedure is the same for an FT-991 or an FT-991A. So if you're new to SDR's, I hope my post helps by showing you not to get too overwhelmed by things and just approach them one at a time.Below is a setup aid to inter-connect an FT-991 with WSJT-X through the standard Omni-Rig CAT interface and sending QSOs to Swisslog. ![]() I still have my original PK-232, but it's in the closet because I can do so much more now with software verses hardware. (SDR) Thanks Chris and Josh for helping me make the right choice for my initial SDR by showing me what's out there and what can be done with them. I'm 64 and on a fixed income so it's really hard to not buy all the toys I want, but this is definitely the best thing I have gotten in awhile. Also, it helped quite a bit by reviewing the different posts and inquiries that people made over time. Later, I took my time, wrote everything down and approached it one step at a time, getting one program to work with another program until all were finally working together. In short, I was trying to put everything together as one, right off the bat. My biggest problem was I was making it far more difficult than it really was. I'm new to SDR's but have really enjoyed learning what I can and how similar things are to the analog world as long as you can relate to the transitional digital components and changes. It's relatively easy but really hard to explain to someone how to do it. I was able to get all of what I needed and understand why I received no answers. Software plays a big part in how things fit together. Some things are basically the same when dealing with utilities such as COM ports etc. In an answer to my own question, in hopes of maybe helping someone else that is just starting SDR's, I found that patience and trial & error helped most in figuring it out. ![]()
