Hi Jim, check this article: github.com/rfrht/FT-991A/wiki/How-To-Do-FT8-In-60M-With-FT-991A

@@rodrigoabfreire3490 I’m good on that front in the article. I should rephrase the question, do you have to change the transmit bandwidth when doing SSB or FT-8 from its default settings. Is it Different from normal 20 M setting ? Thank you for your reply.

@@MrJimmy440 Hey there Jimmy. No changes, I just do business as usual.

@@rodrigoabfreire3490 thank you sir.

oi Gabriel! Obrigado! Dá uma olhada na wiki, explica tudo em detalhe: github.com/rfrht/FT991A-PAT/wiki - ou me manda um email, pega o contato lá no QRZ! Abração.

@@rodrigoabfreire3490 Muito obrigado, Rodrigo. Trabalho primoroso, parabéns por documentar tão bem. 73 de PU1JQY

Hola, Gilberto. Uso el puerto USB existente del FT-991A. Sin embargo, hube un montón de cambios que hice en la radio para lograr éxito. Echale un vistazo en github.com/rfrht/FT991A-PAT/wiki ; allá están todos los detalles de como lo hice. Un saludo.

It definitely should work, as I have tested my 991A as an APRS I-Gate on 1200. Can't help on WinLink, apologies.

voicemeeter.com/ says it's windows only

Hey! That's HDSDR, and an entirely different animal. Check this out: github.com/rfrht/FT991A-PAT/wiki

Hey VK2LQ! Definitely works just the same for the 101, even a IC7300 etc- as long as the audio is done via USB.

I have connected the 101MP via USB cable great for recording, i just need to work the command lines LOL great work@@rodrigoabfreire3490

Sorry, I don't do Winlink and have no knowledge on that mode.

hello and grazie mille. If you are talking about power on and power off, there are shell scripts for both functions.

In a nutshell 10 memory banks on the FT991A are programmed for the 60M band which is broken down into 10 channels that we are secondary users on. No need to mess with the Center Channel freq. and Amateur offset freq. because it's set already and you can't accidently change it and cause interference by operating error to the primary users. :)

The mixer is VoiceMeeter Banana. The Panadapter/waterfall is HDSDR plus a RTL/SDR dongle.

@@rodrigoabfreire3490 Thank you! And how is this connected to the FT-991A? I want to do packet radio, would I need an additional SDR dongle for that?

@@TheUrbanHam It's connected via the USB port. In order to do packet radio, you will need a modem. There are some software that can act as a modem, so the USB port carries the audio signal that will be sent to the software and encode/decode data. Look for software packet TNC. Good luck!

Hello there! The SDR taps on the RX IF line, so no strong signal over there - and the amplifier board switches off the IF line during TX. I use a headset in the computer for voice comms. For PTT events, sometimes I use VOX, other times I use a foot PTT to trigger the TX. Check the project's wiki: github.com/rfrht/FT991A-PAT/wiki - over there you will get all the technical aspects of the board and how to implement it. To see how I did the audio via the computer, check this: github.com/rfrht/Voicemeeter-FT-991A/wiki

Olá Fernando! Sem "abrir" o rádio para TX, não. O rádio não transmite fora destes canais, mesmo que a frequência seja a mesma de alguma outra forma como QMB, VFO, MT etc - necessariamente tem que ser dentro destas memórias especiais. Um abração!

@@rodrigoabfreire3490 Boa tarde, Rodrigo ! Grato pela atenção ! Tudo entendido. Abraço !

No.

Hello - apologies for the delay. I have modded my FT-991A to include a SDR dongle within it. This is how I did it: github.com/rfrht/FT991A-PAT/wiki

Hello Diego. Unfortunately, not. The Scope Unit provides an analog signal to the CPU, which is parsed and then rendered on the display. There's no I/Q transformation that could be tapped.

@@rodrigoabfreire3490 I think Yaesu should provide I Q signals thinking in hams, good to propose. thank you very much 73´s LU2DVY

Bom dia Fredson! Mais ou menos. Você pode fazer um tap da FI usando a porta µ-tune, mas não dá para colocar a panadapter dentro do rádio pois não há interface USB.

No. The IC7300 does *not* provide the functionality that is achieved here. No I/Q output for using down further by any SDR/GNURadio application.

7300 has only HF no V/U

Keyed by either VOX, MOX or CAT PTT Command (I have a PTT macro button in VoiceMeeter)

@@rodrigoabfreire3490 great thanks for the info.

Hello Carl! Just. Perfect. Not a glitch or any negative impact on the radio.

@@rodrigoabfreire3490 Excellent, thank you. Your github page 'installation' has some broken image links, FYI. I reference your github page very frequently and recommend it to the 991a facebook groups when they need reference material, especially your documentation on the Menu Settings.

What a great patent!!! You should work for YAESU. Rodrigo can i send you my radio to customize it? 73’

Hello Bruce, good morning- and thank you very much for the kind words! 1) Indeed, I voided my warranty, sure thing. But got a heck of a radio ;-) 2) You can see any differences on radio sensitivity with and without the signal tap in this video: czcams.com/video/yeTeMTJRBIg/video.html 3) With regards to the actual install work, unfortunately I don't have any videos head-to-tail on that. I do have instructions on how to o the whole thing on this github page: github.com/rfrht/FT991A-PAT/wiki/ Some pictures are missing because they are hosted in a server at my apartment - which is undergoing a renovation/construction and the server were removed - it will be some more weeks out of order. Feel free to reach, will be more than happy to help!

Thank you so much. Hope to see you at HamCation in February.

Hello! Read this thorough: github.com/rfrht/Voicemeeter-FT-991A/wiki

Check this page for Mac compatible SDR software: www.rtl-sdr.com/big-list-rtl-sdr-supported-software/

Hey there! Thanks for stopping by! I don't have an install video, but you can see it installed in czcams.com/video/yeTeMTJRBIg/video.html . You can also see the "Install" section in github.com/rfrht/FT991A-PAT/wiki/installation

A larger, comfortable, zoomable, configurable, shiftable - and a "click-to-tune" functionality from the PC. Also, the ability to check other signal of interest without tuning out from the radio central frequency.

Congratulations, Joel! And enjoy the journey!!! Let us know the outcome!!

Hi Ferdinand! Man, you can't "clear" the content. You can surely replace them all with some other content to avoid confusion. But clearing content isn't possible for QMB.

@@rodrigofreire7604 Thanks. Fortunately, for the sake of usability in my case, a short press of STO/RCL goes for the latest stored frequency and V/M jumps back. So there is no need to jump through the whole QMB stack every time you want to quick-check the CQer whether the pile-up weakened... On IC-7300 you go back by the same MPAD button, so you cycle throuh the whole stack to get back to the original frequency, however, you can clear the buffer, so it's fine too.

​@@ferdinandfrozensteinthis was the missing piece for me! Thank you so much! 🙂

No. The stacking has to be accessed manually by touching the the respective band button; there's no scanning between the stacks.

Hi Ben! Take into account that I use an *old* laptop (manufactured 2011) and Windows 7. No issues at all.
