Running on Linux Cinnamon. Carefully followed KM4ACK YT on the install. Confirmed all packages installed. Flrig works the FT857. JS8Call works the CAT but not the Test PTT. Tripled checked the FY857 menu settings and am in DIG mode. Using DR Mobile and DR cables. Any suggestions?
I don’t have your radio, so take what I say with a grain of salt. I don’t want your question to go too long without a response.
JS8Call has a pulldown selection for the Yaesu FT-857. If you do not use flrig, then you can set PTT in JS8Call to the serial port for the Digirig and use RTS.
Does this make sense?
Maybe someone here will post some information about why it makes sense to use flrig.

do you have, in js8call, ptt via CAT or ptt via RTS?

In JS8 I have the rig set to FlrigFlrig and the PTT via CAT…because this set up nets into Flrig.

sorry, i skipped right over the ‘flrig works the 857’ not to mention the thread title.
i won’t be of much use. i have used flrig as well as omnirig but that was a long time ago.
good luck though
