While I am trying to get my 847 setup for digital operations such as FT8, I have come across a CAT control problem.
My rig is from 1990, serial 0M45xxxx so it shouldn't have any difficulties. I tried a CPU reset with no change.
I can get the FT847UNI drivers working in JTDX, but not the Bi-Directional driver.
While this might be the bare minimum necessary for digital operation, I would like to get the OmniRig drivers working so that I can get my logging program (Log4OMv2) working alongside another app to follow the freq.
I know there is a HamLib option in Log4OM, but I can't get that to work (it is native in JTDX) so I am wondering...
Is there anyone who has their 847 working with bi-directional CAT control? If so, what cables are you using with what software?

Re: FT-847 CAT Control Problem
Run this zip. Then copy the Folder with the .ini files in it to the OmniRig folder and then select the PST version of FT847.... eg: FT847 or FT847PST. This version was modded for better Bi-Directional comms with PSTRotator as the display failed to change with the standard version.
Please let me know if it helps.

Thanks Spence, I would love to try a different approach to this problem other than the cable/comm/driver changes I have been struggling with.

Re: To TX on SSB any Frequency FM works fine
Adding circuit tat was cut off I
have also added some voltage for Q1063: Pin 1, Pin 3.8V 2, 1.8 Volt, Pin 3, 3.6-4.8V (mic gain control range) Pin4 3.7V Pin 5 earth, Pin6 NC, Pin7 3.7V, Pin 8 4.2V Pin 9 3.6V Pin 10 7.4V?
Pin 2 seems low which is the audio out on the current mirror circuit, but nothing is coming out!

To TX on SSB any Frequency FM works fine
My basic problem is I seem to have lost Mic audio after Q1053 there is nothing coming out of Pin 4. Pin 4 travels half way around the radio and ends up at Q1038 Pin 6. Q1053 is an electronic attenuator controlled by Pin 3, this does move up and down with the mic gain control.
?
If I switch the monitor on I hear my Mic audio coming out the speaker, so this obviously takes another path. Not sure where. There are no voltages or waveforms on the technical supplement, so I have no of knowing what is normal.
?
?
The output of IC Q1063 ends up on Pin 12 on IC 1C1081 (switch) ?which in accessible on the top side of the AF board. The Voltage levels on Q1053 would also be useful, if you can get there and measure them.
?
Is there any way anyone could scope a working model and let me know if audio is getting through and roughly the levels? This way I know roughly where my fault lies?

Dear Owners, took delivery of the parts on Saturday and took some time out to fit them today and can report after gutting all the burnt carbon and working the board. New components are in and following Andrews advice set TC1001 to null while checking the other test points.
SWR is 1.02:1 on nearly all bands into a Comet H422 at 3 meters (my test antenna). Working well.
Thanks to everyone who participated and hope I can return the favour in the future.
See the repair which was challenging and used non conductive glue to stick down the core and prevent it moving.
Before
After
I know the board still looks burned but it’s back to good FR4 I assure you. The photo doesn’t do it justice.
73 and hope to catch you all in my log soon.

I’ve tried several solder joint configurations and will not TX on 146.52 or 445000. About to give up.? Is the Japan stuff transmit range burned into EPROM or something????
Colin lists several HF coverage configurations and I am able to transmit on 14.550!!? (into dummy load of course)? I point out as evidence that changing the solder jumpers did do SOMETHING.? Also, initially the cross-band repeater item was not available on the menu and now it appeared.? More evidence that changing the jumpers did something.
Thanks Carl
