Hi. Having got the FT-857 in the house from the camper I thought I would try flrig as the Ft is one of the listed radios. The S mete shows on the GUI but no level is seen even on a local AM broadcast station. the vfo swap does not seem to be working either there is a click as if it switched and then straight back.
Log extract below. I was using it in standalone mode (I assume the E: is an attempt to talk to fldigi) and the baud rate was 38400 as I had been trying to software wideband it as I have a 5 MHz NoV. The latest FT-857D does not respond to software widebanding but it does coeme set to do 40m up to 7.2 MHz out of the box. Out of the box is more or less what the radio is as I have not used it much yet W: main: flrig log started on Sun Nov 8 16:51:58 2009 E: init_xmlrpc: xmlrpc queries disabled Unable to transport XML to server and get XML response back.
