👍👍

Good morning to you and sorry to labour the point. I am using VARAC along with Signalink and FT857D. I admit I am struggling to configure the rig settings under VARAC. I’m not using CAT control and wondered if you or someone could help me out by suggesting what my settings should be. Thanks

Thanks again for your reply. My auto antenna tuner does use my CAT port to work. I think that’s fairly standard practice it’s a MAT Y-200 tuner, you can take a look at this on line and see how it works. It looks that I will need to aquire a different tuner that doesn’t use any ports on my FT897!

But surely I will need to use something like FLRIG and it’s the settings on both Rig configuration and FLRIG that I can’t get to work. So if anyone can help on this front Gary would be great.

Thanks for that Gary. I was trying not to use CAT. Can this be done at all? Sorry to be so dim🤪

Yes you are correct Gary but I was hoping I may have got some response from someone with the same set up as me I was hoping to free up my CAT port and use it for my ATU without the expense of having to get another ATU. I think I can do this using FLRIG as it doesn't require a data or CAT port. I have tried many set up settings with FLRIG but cant get it to play nicely. Heres hoping someone can help me.

Thanks for your reply again and sorry to be a nuisance. If I set up as shown with the CT62 cable for CAT, I cannot use my auto tuner which plugs into the CAT port on my 857D. It all would work ok without the tuner but I need to be able to tune my antenna when changing bands. It would seem I can’t have CAT control and use the type of tuner that I have. I hope this makes more sense. Thanks Dennis G7JDI

My radio is connected to my SKU17 interface and that is connected via USB to my PC. The only COM ports that show on my device manager are COM 9 and 10 for Audio and Speaker CODAC.

FLdigi does appears very daunting to set up. Can anyone help me with some advice about setting up FLRIG. As mentioned my rig is an FT897 or FT857D. I cannot use the CAT port on the radio as it is taken up by my auto tuner . Both my Mic and speaker ports are different at 8 and 9 but FLRIG asks for the port of my radio?
