How to use B channel on radio

, ,
1

I am using my digirig with a Yaesu FTM-500DR via Soundmodem for both Winlink and packet (with a terminal program). Everything is working great but I’d like to switch to have the data use the B channel on my radio.

It’s not clear if this requires a hardware/cable change or if it is just a configuration issue. I’ve tried various combinations of settings but haven’t gotten it to work.

Does this require a Winlink setting? A Soundmodem setting? A new cable?

Thanks in advance…

Without having any experience with your specific transceiver model I can tell you that there is no specific hardware or anything that I came across in the ham radio software that would address a specific VFO on your radio. Normally it’s whatever VFO currently active is the one that gets the payload on the air.
