I use an ft991A, yaesu's most current rig in the hf/vhf line. I had a hamlib error after a windows update which of course happened Saturday morning of field day with no internet :). I rolled back to a previous version and fb. The yaesu ft 991 a has regularly been a bear to configure. Perhaps

Michael, sorry. I rolled back windows 10. Wsjt x worked fine after that. The "list" would be the drop down list for rig set up in wsjt x. I also use a flex 6600 which has worked flawlessly with wsjt x every time. Thank you for all of your hard work. Rob n1trk On Thu, Jul 2, 2020 at 9:25 AM

Hi Mike, we have had one report of a failure which turned out to be a CAT baud rate setting issue. As far as I know it faithfully emulated the FT-817ND and that model can be used without change, surprisingly including the EEPROM reads that are used when being forced to use the FT-857 model

Bill..have you found the FT-818ND to be compatible with the FT-817ND backend?Perhaps should add that to the riglist so they don't feel like orphans. Mike W9MDB On Thursday, July 2, 2020, 07:15:04 AM CDT, Bill Somerville wrote: On 02/07/2020 13:02, Claude Frantz wrote: On 7/2/20

I just tested an FT-897 with a user yesterday and it's working fine in the latest hamlib. So hopefully whatever problem was being experienced has been fixed for the 817 and 897. Mike W9MDB On Thursday, July 2, 2020, 07:45:18 AM CDT, Bill Somerville wrote: Hi Mike, we have had
