Hi Charlie,

I've successfully used http://amsat.org.ar/pass.exe together with http://amsat.org.ar/wispdde.exe to control my FT-897.

Perhaps an alternative could be to check with your 1 port FTDI USB to RS232 Null Modem Adapter.

Hi all,

I am trying to use a newly purchased StarTech ICUSB232FTN (1 port FTDI USB to RS232 Null Modem Adapter) to have SatPC32 control my Yaesu FT-847. For whatever reason, I have not been able to get SatPC32 to control the radio. Has anyone had experience with using this adapter that might have a few tips to pass along? I don't know if it is the adapter itself or a step I might have missed in getting SatPC32 and the FT-847 to work.

The adapter when plugged in thinks it is in Com4 so I set SatPC32 to be in Com4 with a delay of 20 and baud rate of 57600. I have also adjusted the radio to use 57600 and have adjusted Com4 to be 57600. But it could be some other settings would work better, so I am open to suggestions.

I am using Windows 10 and version 12.8d of SatPC32.

Thanks in advance.

73, Charlie Sufana AJ9N
