Need Help: Digirig Setup with Yaesu FT-991A for Digital Modes!

1

Hi everyone,

I am fairly new to digital modes and just got my hands on a Digirig Mobile interface. I am trying to set it up with my Yaesu FT-991A…, primarily for FT8 and Winlink, but I am a bit stuck on the configuration part.

I have installed the drivers and can see the serial ports. I am using WSJT-X…, but I am not sure about the exact rig settings, audio configuration, and whether I need a specific cable or adapter for full CAT and audio control.

Can anyone here share their working setup or maybe a step-by-step guide that worked for them using this combo: ??

I would appreciate any insight, especially from those who’ve successfully used Digirig with the 991A. I have also gone through this thread https://forum.digirig.net/t/setting-up-digirig-with-yaesu-ft-991a-for-ft8-sap-fico-course-in-kolkata but still need some more help.

Thanks in advance !!

With Regards,
Marcelo

Marcelo,
Welcome to digital modes. Before you go with the Digirig route, try using your Yaesu’s internal digital modes interface by connecting radio directly to the computer with a USB-B cable. You’ll find numerous videos on FT8 setup with FT-991A.
