Re: FT847 Memory manager


 

¿ªÔÆÌåÓý

Hello Franco

?

I can answer your question about the CAT.? I bought an early serial number 847 and when the radio debuted, it did not even have two way frequency and mode CAT, no CAT at all.? For some reason, Yaesu chose not to include any CAT at all.? Following an outcry, YAESU decided to include two way frequency and mode only in the CAT.? This was provided as a free firmware update.? I think they could not go any further with a firmware only change.? You also still have to choose between CAT and the ATAS antenna, cannot run both together.? Pity really because the radio is a great radio? otherwise.

?

I have the original manual if you are interested.

Thanks Ruben for the info....

If you see on the list, it is not possible to set the channel number and save or download the data contained in the radio.So at least it seems from the commands available and declared in the manual that they are not there.
The problem is that you cannot set the number of memories, through the normal CAT only set the frequencies.



The CAT of the FT847 is really very limited and also very poorly explained on the manual.

Since I would like to manage everything through external memory banks with CAT software,
self-built as I already do for other things between transceiver and shack management like my FT3000d BARalso to have the 7 smeter bar simultaneously visible and easily adjust the CONT and NOTCH options "difficult, complicated and not very usable" otherwise through the menu.),




to better manage the limits of the FT847 SATELLITE 12 x memories and more such as the variation of the NR (which is not it is described as a CAT command, SAT TAG...), I think that the only possibility is to use the cmd and the dial of the CLONE emulated system:



Which in the manual does not report absolutely anything as a definition if not a setting in the menu which, however, does not describes the Up/Dw protocol.

It would seem that through software therefore another FT847 must be simulated and dialogue via the CLONE RADIO options (PAG 92>)

I tried to ask YAESU if there is better documentation. Unfortunately I have not found anything else.
