Do you see the DR-891 as a USB sound card? You Might also want to consider starting with flrig (opensource) to control the radio. You can then just have wsjt-x connect directly to flrig and it will control the radio. Then consider using GridTracker2. The combination is really powertful and gets you things like a button to make all the settings for FT8, and probably most importantly automatic logging to QRZ, LoTW and eQSL. If you need help, let me know.

Thanks Mike for the reply. I will get working on this over the weekend and I am sure I will be reaching out for help.
