I'm looking for some help on how to set up WSJT-X to transmit with the Yaesu FT-857D.
I'm running windows 10, I have the cat cable set up and working fine with my PC through a "Trip-Lite" serial to USB converter; works fine, I can program the radio with chirp so I know that connection functions well.
I have also downloaded the latest version of WSJT-X v2.1.2, installed it and have it decoding using a stereo 3.5mm Jack connected to the microphone Jack on my PC and the external speaker jack on the FT-857D.
When I am in WSJT-X, and I test the cat connection between WSJTX and the radio, it works!
If I receive an FT8 CQ request, double click on it, the radio goes into transmit mode and apparently says it's transmitting.
The question is, does WSJT-X send the transmitted information through the cat cable when it's transmitting?
The reason I ask, is I've replied to numerous messages, the radio transmits, and I received no replies.
My hope is, that there is someone with experience setting up WSJT-X and the Yaesu FT-857D and can let me know what it is I need to do in order to get these two functioning together.
