I have a DR 891 to use with the FT 891. I have used it in the past with great success. Over the past week when it is plugged in, Windows 11 says “Device Not Recognized”. I have tried using many different cables and tried 2 different computers (Win 10 & 11) with no luck. Windows 10 doesnt even notice anything was plugged in. Both my computers still recognize my Digirig Mobile without issue. Any ideas?
If DR-891 causes error where Digirig Mobile works (same computer, same cable) then DR-891 may need repair. Please reach out via the contact form on the website for RMA.

windows 10/11 drivers are a bit goofy for the Yaesu ft891. You can download them directly from the Yaesu website for that specific radio. If you’re still having issues, try booting into linux and once you get a prompt, do an “lsusb” command to see if you can see the serial ports. Another thing to check for is to ensure your cat control is on the rear port – this is required for the digirig. It’ll never see the port if the port isn’t active on the back of the radio. I hope this helps.
