It will not work. It doesn't have enough response at low frequencies. The UDRC is designed for 9600.

Hi Christy,
Correct, pin 4 on the 6 pin mini-din to Signalink SPKR pin. With the IC-9100, for example, it must be set to FMD (FM Data). Looks like the FT-847 needs menu #23 (Pkt-Rate) set to 9600.
The cable I'm using is the SL-CAB6PM. This has all 6 wires connected. I was using it with a FT-847 when I had one. Plugs straight into the IC-9100. Just need to change the Signalink jumper from 5 to 4.
I'm still yet to try TX. Will get there though :)

Hi Rick. thanks for commenting. for your setup I assume you are using the IC9100 6pin dataport? the USB signalink is wired to pin 4(9600)? and are you also Tx 9600 packet, uplinking to the Satellite? my signalink has the little plug (sans connection to the pin 4), and with my radio cant test the receive portion without rewiring to pin 4. (have tested as is with no joy). 73 christy KB6LTY --------- you wrote ---------- Well that's interesting.
I've used a USB Signalink with an Icom IC-9100 and hs-soundmodem to successfully decode 9600 from Falconsat-3. To my knowledge, the Signalink has not been modified.
