Did you ever figure out how to dertermine what the tx power setting needs to be?

This is absolutely awesome! I am getting back into ham radio and this is extremely hackish and cool. This is the ultimate howto video for doing ft8 on the lowest budget possible, all in less than 5 minutes. This is totally killer. Great job! I am going to copy your exact setup.

Nice,

A bajillion years later 🤣🤣🤣

😱 Dino!!!

Good idea cutting the wire in the cable I was planning on making a special cable so thanks for the video.

Great demo! Thank you very much!

I'm thinking about using this radio for POTA so thank you for creating this video!

Will that radio run WSPR?

Beautiful!! Great video and nicely done! 🤘📻⚡️Thanks!

Great job. This is a fine example of what amateur radio is supposed to be. Learning and sharing. Glad you decided to post this information for the rest of us. It’s very helpful when your trying to decide what solution you want to utilize. Knowing I can run digital modes on this unit is very helpful. 73

Can you add a schematic diagram of your FT8 cable mod?

Well done...!!!!

Great video! Thank you!

I must be stupid. Ive made the cable as per dl2man video for digi operating, and using vox to trigger the small sota amp. However im experiencing the same thing , once triggered tx, it stays in tx mode. Can you please compare ur cabel and dl2man cable ?

Good job Chad, Mario VE3WPZ

Really cool setup! Great troubleshooting. I need to try this with mine.

Has anyone made a HRD 'radio; setup script for this truSDR? Could be really handy to control all the settings via HRD or PC control program. de N6JSX/8, [HAM for 50yrs]

your did very good on the VIDEO<.

Excellent ! Finally, this is not really complicated to do, but you took the time to find it. Thanks to share this.

Good job. Yours is exactly what a 'How to' video should be like. I'll wire it up this week for my (tr)uSDX.

Spot on. Thanks

Awesome. But my radio is orange… will it still work? 😂 😂. Thank you for this great tip!

Oi, é possível chavear morse cw via cat? muito obrigado

This little rig looks on track to become the next FT817

you could also just use a mono cable

Great Hack on the cable Mate. I had issues with drivers on those external sound cards when ever pc updated.

Thank you so much for these setup Infos! I first encountered these mic connection problems with an external hand micro, but i was able to solve this with an audio splitter cable, wich separates mic and speaker. But for WSJT-X and plugging the cable into the PC speaker-out this did not work out. So i had to try your cable cutting method wich works great. It is running on Win10 and Ubuntu20.4 now. 73, Christian DC8CB

Hi Cap. The mic cable does have any special change to link mic to pc? TKS 73 PU2AOO

Great Video! Going to give this a whirl. I had been planning to try VOX control, but if it's just as simple as snipping one of the cables, that might be what I'll try first! Never used FT8, so somewhat green to the whole process in general. I assume TS-480 settings are simple enough to enter into WSJT-x.

Very cool! Mine should be here shortly & I believe you just saved me some major headaches! Thank you for the WSJT-x config too.

Great first Video ! 73, Manuel; DL2MAN

Thanks for sharing :)

omg how did you find this?!?!?!?! I've been looking for one all over and it's sold out!
