Great video Frank. Best video I have seen on getting this set up.

[@TankRadio]

Thank you sir I appreciate it

[@KC7ZXYtube]

Got it working using the digirig thanks to you! Keep up the great work. Thanks again for the information and inspiration! 73

[@TankRadio]

I am elated i was able to help you out. Go for and conquer

[@w4orh-ron278]

Frank, Thank you for this video! I'm heading to Hawaii next week and was planning to take my QRP-Guys QDX to do FT-8 from the beach, but it only does 80, 40, and 20 mtrs. I would really like to do 17 mtrs and my G90 will. So used your link to order the DigiRig with rush delivery. I do plan on doing POTA and will spot when I can! ...a very timely video! W4ORH - Ron

[@TankRadio]

Thank you so much, and have a great time in Hawaii

[@Hitttiht]

Saved this video! New HAM and G90 is my only experience. Thank you Tank Radio. New to you also. Will subscribe after 2nd viewing

[@TankRadio]

Thank you for the ring and endorsement. And I agree with this statement

[@TheNoCodeTech]

TeamReplay for the win!

[@TankRadio]

Team replay refuels my tanks

[@Dusty_Ham]

Looks like a great device, thanks Frank!

[@TankRadio]

No problem. I love sharing and leaning together

[@K5QBF]

Great video! That music track is on point.

[@TankRadio]

That's man, i did put some thought into it

[@DD5LP]

It'll be interesting to see if the new DE-19 interface from Xiegu is as simple as the DigiRig! (the DE-19 will replace the CE-19 for the G90 and G106). Also in WSJT-X it "should" install the needed USB interface software as part of its main install and you can take Xiegu X-108 as the radio or IC-7000 - both will work.

[@TankRadio]

I will have to look into this I don't know the answer offhand

[@marcabramson2465]

Frank, I've read the digirig directions multi-times. Yet no luck. Can you please clarify the proper defaults on the Playback/Recording

[@TankRadio]

I don't have that info right now., but i am working on trying to put together a guide to help out more then these videos.

[@va7dgp]

JS8CALL my program. However getting it to work with Digirig and Winlink Express. I thought FT 8 was 14.074 etc

[@TankRadio]

I haven't used JS8CALL and WinLink yet. Its on my list.

[@va7dgp]

@@TankRadio I prefer JS8Call as I can chat with others. FT 8. The computer is doing it. Using JS8Call Utilises I can send text, email plus Sota, not that I'll be doing that from a walker. 73

[@jerryKB2GCG]

why flrig? Can’t you just use wsjt-x to control the rig?

[@TankRadio]

With the DigiRig, i needed Omni Rig as middle ware to interface to wsjt-x.

[@jerryKB2GCG]

@@TankRadio I wAs just trying to understand why, is it that wsjt-x doesn’t have a rig type natively that matches?

[@jerryKB2GCG]

@@TankRadio and I meant Omnirig, sorry about that.

[@GunsandRadios]

I used flrig instead of Omni rig.

[@TankRadio]

I will have to check that out

[@K5KTM]

Flrig has the g90 as an option too. You don’t have to lie to it and tell it your g90 is a Icom

[@TankRadio]

@@K5KTM I am going to be installing a new computer or two next week. i will give it a shot.

[@kgthegman]

Every time I push Test CAT i get an error that the port is not available or an error that the rig is not responding, ahhhh

[@alexrakin1181]

Good job! But why Tank?

[@TankRadio]

Just a nick name i had for a while and it goes together so well.

[@javierpolendok5mhc]

You broke K8MRS computer

[@TankRadio]

I wasn't me, my side is coming out today. kzbin.info/www/bejne/jIulk2mvYseIh7c
