RTS is needed here to control the transmission from the USB virtual serial port using, as said, RTS. I'm using FREQ and I feel good about that 🙂 Other howto's say "(not sure on this – just following N1RWY’s instructions)". This set the display frequency offset when you switch between SSB and CW.įREQ display the same frequency for CW and SSB, no offset added, while PITCH display the CW frequency mode with the pitch added (check the Advanced Manual of your FT891 for details). This is need to monitor the computer using the RTS serial signal. This set the timeout timer for the CAT command input. Try some speeds, they must match together (you set a speed in the radio, must be the same on your software!) Serial speed - the higher, the best! If you have problems with high speed, probably your USB cable is somehow defective or low quality. It can be set to other speeds, accordingly with your desidered serial port speed, to be set up into flrig software! 4800, as seen on all the wrong howto's, is slow and the radio reaction is somehow slow. We must set the radio to accept this setup, so here are THE CORRECT SETTINGS, NOT THE WRONG SETTINGS PRESENT IN EVERY OTHER F%£^ING HOWTO I HAD TO READ BEFORE!įT-891 MENU SETTINGS FOR CAT INTERFACE AND GNU/LINUX FLDIGI OPERATION

You need to be root to do this:Ĭheck your GNU/Linux distro: debian based distro's use apt-get to install sw, other distros can be different. Now for the software part: being on DEVUAN Gnu/Linux 😉 I just had to install fldigi and flrig. Depending on the distro you're using, you need to be root to use the following command: dmesg | grep USB You can use "dmesg" on a console to check the correct serial port. Your USB to SERIAL port device (the Yaesu itself) MUST be seen as a new serial port, usually /dev/ttyUSB0 or something like that. You don't need any serial driver whatsoever if you're using GNU/Linux.USB DRIVERS? WHAT DRIVERS? THIS IS GNU/LINUX! I can't find any usage manual about this damned CAT U5 LINK interface for Yaesu. Leave the USB connector on the CAT interface alone! I plugged mine with a piece of electrical black tape so I never see it again. The USB Cable must be connected from your computer to the BACK OF THE YAESU FT-891. USB CABLE from PC to YAESU! This is THE TRICKY PART that drove me nuts: the damned USB CABLE! I wasted days because I connected it wrong.ĬAT interface has an USB connector and I used that.Don't push or force them in position: they must slide normally. They can't be inserted wrong or reversed, because they're different. CAT INTERFACE to YAESU: here came 2 cables that connects to the CAT and to the rear of the YAESU FT-891.If you have a laptop with the damned 4 pin jack, you need some sort of adapter to split MIC and AUDIO OUTPUT from the laptop to go into the CAT interface. This is simple and I dont wanna waste time explaining this trivial setup. AUDIO connections: use 2 jacks cables, from the cat interface to the computer one goes to the output and one goes to the mic input of the pc.You need to connect everything: the CAT interface to the yaesu and the computer, the computer itself to the yaesu radio.

In this howto, I'm assuming you know how to use and manage your GNU/Linux system.
So I wrote MY OWN HOWTO about how to connect the YAESU FT-891 to a laptop or a computer, using GNU/Linux operating system and a CAT interface called U5 LINK.
Seem that some old howto was simply copypasted into other howto's, propagating some I searched this topic all around and I found a lot of wrong informations.
