WSJT-X settings – Omni-RigĬhoose as Rig: OmniRig Rig 1 and CAT for the PTT Method.Īt this point, you should see your VFO frequency in WSJ-T and be able to force one of the frequencies set by WSJT-X to the FT-991. In WSJT-X, go to File / Settings and the Radio tab.

WSJT-X, very powerful software to work on certain digital modes like the FT8 will communicate with Omni-Rig to exchange the data of the FT-991. The COM port here is port 2 which is free on your PC and which we created with VSPE in the form of ‘Splitter’.Īt this point, if you change the frequency of your VFO, you should see the parameter exchange scrolling through Omni-Rig. Position the parameters as in the picture. Click on Open Dialog to access the settings. Omni-Rigĭownload and install OmniRig, CAT control software. Don’t forget to save your configuration in a file to find it later. We create a ‘Serial Redirector’ from Com2 to Com7.ĭo not launch other applications before VSPE, it may occupy ports and VSPE will refuse configuration.

In my case, I also want to send the info to an Arduino connected to port 7, which controls other equipment. We find the basic parameters of the link to the FT-991, namely 38400 baud, 8 bits, 2 stop bits, no parity.

At launch, it offers you to buy a license, answer no, and it works perfectly.Ĭreate the Com4 gateway from FT-991 to virtual Com2 using a ‘Splitter’. This will connect Omni-Rig and other applications or hardware.ĭownload VSPE from the internet. To be able to connect several devices / software to the FT991, port 4 will be copied to virtual port 2 using the VSPE (Virtual Serial Port Emulator) software. Ports – Gestionnaires de périphériques VSPE Locate the Enhanced Com port number of your FT-991 and a free unoccupied port, for example 2, in the example below. On your PC, open the Control Panel, go to the System – Device Management section and open the list of ports.

You must now program the ‘computer aided transceiver (CAT)’ interface of the transceiver by going to the menu: The FT991 is connected via a USB cable to the PC, having installed the driver for Windows that can be found on the Yaesu site in the section ‘Amateur RadioįT-991A/ SCU-17 USB Driver (Virtual COM Port Driver) The procedure is the same for an FT-991 or an FT-991A. Below is a setup aid to inter-connect an FT-991 with WSJT-X through the standard Omni-Rig CAT interface and sending QSOs to Swisslog.
