That was by far the best 891 FT8/digital mode set-up video that I've ever seen. (Sorry Josh, and others who have done one as well... this one is better). I appreciate the explanation as to WHAT each setting does and WHY you adjusted them to what you did. Now I'm going to go get my rig up and running and get some digital contacts going!

This has been a great tutorial. I have a 1-yr old FT-891, and I have thought about digital modes. I'd like to use a digirig controller. My last venture into digital modes was 20+ years ago, and I used the MFJ-1278 for packet and AMTOR. I used packet for the DX Cluster, and I enjoyed RTTY and AMTOR a few times. I can still remember the QSO on RTTY, and the other ham asking if I have AMTOR capability. I gave him my 4 character identifier, and BOOM! My radio started TXing and RXing. Super cool. I'm hoping that new modes will be more exciting and fun.

Thanks Glenn! I /believe/ the IC-7000 is the same as the 706, so it has a 13pin connector and the Yaesu has a 6pin connector. - This MFJ setup is almost identical to the signalink device inside.

@jolebole-yt 6 месяцев назад

Hi Steve. Thank you for the excellent tutorial setting up the FT-891 with the MFJ Digilink. Once all the settings are in place everything works great. First complaint goes to MFJ - they DO NOT supply any USB cables whatsoever and you need two. So once you get your MFJ-1205 you cannot operate out of the box, unless you have 2 extra USB-A to B laying around. MFJ does not even mention that the USB cables are not provided on their website. I shot them an email about this matter. Second complaint goes to the Yaesu engineers for not adding separate digital operation profiles in the menu so you can quickly switch settings if you are using different audio interfaces. So I had to make a cheat sheet of the settings. The FT-891 in data mode is actually pretty quiet compared to my IC-7300 which makes lots more fan noise when running FT8. Thanks!

@temporarilyoffline 6 месяцев назад

Thanks for the info!

@josephterry-tn7ic Год назад

I appreciate the detail, because there are several devices on the market, mine is a Digirig. However I learned to use the 3 program keys for MTR then Width, as the 891 forgets and it is easy to keep set with a button, and Monitor as I also listen to the signal being sent to make sure there is no over drive with ALC. 73's

@norrinradd8952 Год назад

Thanks TO. Great video. I think if anyone has a semi-modern radio and a similar audio device, this should be helpful to them. It also reminds me of why I am waiting on purchasing a NEW radio. Current connector technology is like future alien tech compared to what they are still using on amateur radios. They are slowly getting there, but I'd like to see more USB, DP, HDMI and other modern and/or digital connectors on radios. There is a reason the rest of the world mostly moved on from DIN PS2 Keyboard style connectors.

@temporarilyoffline Год назад

Exactly - a true USB-C would be amazing!

@radiotests Год назад

The radios and audio processors should be wireless Bluetooth. You can buy $40 mixers that join PC, mixer and source but not a $1500 wireless appliance? It demonstrates the truly unimaginative and entrenched style the Japanese corporate radio mentality is famous for. Look to other brands to develop theses methods before they do. It's just unfortunate that these companies are much smaller making their products expensive. I think those like FLEX will be those innovators while Yaesu and Icom rush to integrate Windows 7 to the market 😆😂😉

@norrinradd8952 Год назад

@@radiotests Yes, FLEX is a great example of a company that is ahead of the curve. I agree that wireless should definitely be the end goal for radio data and audio, but until then I'm really only asking for modern hard wired connectors that haven't been around since the 70s. DIN is garbage.

@thuff3207 Год назад

The 891 is really a bargain for a great radio. You describing the menus is very helpful. What is the biggest problem of the radio is they really were not built for digital modes. I wish there was software that would change the menus to and from digital modes so you can easily change to phone or CW. Then it would be a much better radio for everyone. Who has not been operating FT8 then cannot get phone or CW to work because you need to adjust the menus.

Importantly, and also maybe superfluously, since if you're this entrenched in Linux you'll probably already know this, the audio input might not be alsa! I point this out just in case anyone goes into the comments because they can't find "alsa-so-and-so-device". There are a few potential options for audio sources and sinks in Linux, and alsa is just the one that Linux Mint uses (as do many, many others). It could also be pulse or pipewire, or a few other things. Alsa is certainly very common, though. The important thing is to look for the correct device name. Great video!

This is a "feature" - you have WSJT-X split mode set to either 'fake it" or "rig" and its moving to the best spot to TX based on where you are on the spectrum so that you get maximum signal out. The FT8 single you TX is only 50hz wide, and 73.5 is a better place for that signal to originate from.

@temporarilyoffline 3 месяца назад

Having SPL on doesn't hurt anything, the software will move your radio's frequency to where it would be best suited for operations, both TX and RX - it's the operators choice to run split, fake it (which does the same thing without the radio's split function) and none (which does nothing).

I am starting to think you are tracking my browser history. 1st the Quadra and now the 891, weird that you are dropping videos on them as I debate with myself about hitting the buy now button hahaha.

@kevinpoff8285 6 месяцев назад

Thanks! I have been avoiding FT8 with my 891 because i have all Linux AND a Signalink. I assume the set up is similar as what is presented here. I have been wanting to get going with the Digital stuff but I don’t have a Windows machine and this is the first one I’ve been able to understand how to work with Linux. THANK YOU and 73-KQ4FIP

@temporarilyoffline 6 месяцев назад

Thanks for the tip! Yes, I used the signalink before using this device. Both work great!

@kevinpoff8285 6 месяцев назад

Any special tip for configuring the Signalink.

@temporarilyoffline 6 месяцев назад

@@kevinpoff8285 the device I used in the vid is a clone of the signalink. I think you just need to find the audio devices in your list and iff I remember correctly they are TI/Burr Brown, but it should be pretty obvious.

That’s what I was thinking. Thanks again.

@richarde735 Год назад

you’re transmitting at 100w but I thought digital mode was intended to be a lower wattage mode?

@temporarilyoffline Год назад

To be pedantic, but not argumentative: it's a "weak signal" mode, not a "low power" mode - so normal amateur rules apply - use the least amount of power needed to make the contact. I've worked far off DX at 400w that would not have worked at 5w. Thanks for watching and good DX!

Timely. The recent storm killed my IC-7100, I shall miss her dearly. But, the Ft-891 will be here Monday. Cables, cables, cables.

@temporarilyoffline Год назад

Congrats, I'm sorry for you loss! Have you looked inside the 7100?

@QSasquatch 11 месяцев назад

Reset your mode while in digital if going back to lsb voice. FT891 is a PIA to get stuck in USB ,80m

@temporarilyoffline 11 месяцев назад

Yeah, you have to redo a bunch of settings to swap in and out, and even after power off and per band. Great radio, a little hard to live with a times though. I don't think I'll ever sell mine.

Hi Steve, I added the WDH button to Func B and every time I check on power up it it is still set to 3200 Hz. Guess I will now set MTR to Func B. Stay safe. 73 WJ3U

@temporarilyoffline Год назад

Yeah, I'm using MTR there myself. Good call!

@jaym1301 Год назад

Maybe you can try my idea for making an FT8 interface setup for the 891 using parts from Ali for around $20. I think that would make a good video. I'll post about it in Toads with links to the parts if you're interested.

@jaym1301 Год назад

I forgot to mention (and I can't edit comments in RU-vid in this browser) I found inline audio isolation transformers to add to the setup with a 3.5mm jack and a pigtail with a 3.5mm plug. That should solve the possible issue of computer noise getting into the radio or vice-versa over the audio cables. :)

@temporarilyoffline Год назад

I'll looked for it, thanks!

@edbeckerich3737 Год назад

The isolation transformers keep DC to DC out too, it will hum like mad if you dont..

@temporarilyoffline Год назад

Nice, thanks! I haven't experienced noise, but I know it had been a problem for a long time and the isolation transformers were the right answer.

Not sure what is going on with Raspberry Pi now....this is yet another issue I cannot seem to get installed. Looked at many different sites, and tried multiple different routes(including trying to build it), and yet still....nothing. I'm loosing interest quickly in this project. 20 hours in the last 3 days and I'm not anywhere near closer to starting to Tx/Rx.

From my limited use of digital modes, with my SignalLink USB, soundcard device. (I assume the MFJ is the same!?) I have found that the setup is like using a 3 part, set of weight scales. In order for everything to work, it all has to be very balanced. The radio, balanced with the Signalink, then all the settings within your PC program. A very tricky thing, which causes a lot of spurious cursing 🤬🤬🤬, heavy drinking 🥃🍺🍷, and spontaneous cranial combustion 😵‍💫🤪🤯🤕... Until you actually find harmonious balance within the force 🤗😊. Or... Maybe its just my Charlie Brown luck? 🤔

@temporarilyoffline 9 месяцев назад

Yeah, this radio is a bit difficult, so I made that checklist to go over every time I switch in and out of FT8. Newer radios have a built in sound card and better menus so that transition better. The FT-891 is still a great rig though

@Philip-KA4KOE Год назад

DigiRig?

I need to play with one, I've seen mixed results.

@forgetyourlife Год назад

Great tutorial however the reward at the end of being able run ft8 doesn’t seem worth all the hassle.

@temporarilyoffline Год назад

Thanks for watching!

@chrissewell1608 9 месяцев назад

Ironically the MFJ DigiLink, looks identical to the Tigertronics SignaLink. 🤔 Wierd!?

@temporarilyoffline 9 месяцев назад

Neither of them were unique when created and they are slightly different inside. A ham like you or me figured out how to make it all work and then people started making products out of it. And now we have the digirig and CM108 cards and radios that have sound cards built in too.
