I recently added a SCU LAN 10 to be able to use my radio over my LAN and even WAN, but this means that the one USB port is tied up for the SCU LAN 10. I found a couple threads online that describe using the SCU-17 with RS232 and the FTDX10’s RTTY/Data port to gain back CAT control with other software (like OmniRig). Could the Digirig do this for me? It looks like I would use the Kenwood TS-480 cords for Digirig Mobile.
@K1SPS I do not have experience with this radio. The Digirig’s serial port should be able to work, with the right configuration and cables. You can understand more from this guide Digirig Mobile Rev 1.9.
What capability does the SCU LAN 10 give you? I am surprised it does not have CAT, but I don’t know the radio.

It gives me remote control of the radio, but only through Yaesu’s app but I cant use any other third party CAT apps like Omni Rig without switching the USB to a computer direct. I was hoping to have the capability to remotely access through the SCULAN10 but then also have local cat control when in the shack.
OK thanks for your explanation. I have a radio with proprietary Bluetooth, and I have not achieved a workaround for that. I think you will have better luck with your situation. Keep going!

Did you ever find a solution?
Did you ever find a solution? I am going down this rabbit hole as well… mind blowing that Yaesu hasn’t opened up the ability to allow complete remote control of their radios, like say a Flex…
So the LAN10 is needed if you want to do any SSB remotely with the FTdx10… but it uses the USB port on the back of the FTDX10… so the question is can the digiport work by using the 6 pin RTTY/Data Port and the RS232C port on the back of the FTdx10 and the digiport then connects to a laptop to run digital modes… If this can work - it would be great…
The other option I have thought of would be to use a Pegasus Astro USB Control Hub with the… My laptop into Port 1, the LAN10 into Port 2, and the FTdx10 into Port 3… Google RDC into the laptop, open the LAN10 software and do some SSB QSOs… when done, shut down radio through the LAN10, and then use the client software for the Pegasus to close Port 2, then open a rig control software - HRD or W4Y to start the radio up, then do some digital QSOs… when done, shutdown the rig control which turns off the radio and end the RDC session…
I would rather support the ham community by seeing if the DigiPort would work with an FTdx10 or not… then buying the LAN10 for doing the remote control access SSB stuff…
