FT8 settings at the YAESU FT-710 FT710

 FT8 settings at the YAESU FT-710  FT710

 I've experienced no issues whatever with FT8. I do not use the "PRESET", but allow WSJT-X to configure the radio. It works just fine.

I'll try to detail the WSJT-X settings in another post.

My settings for WSJT-X with the FT-710, using the rig's internal sound card.

Radio. FT-991

Port. Com 14 (On my PC this is the standard port of the FT-710. Enhanced port 15 is used for logging)

Baud. 4800

Data Bits. 8

Stop Bits. 1

Handshake. Default

PTT. CAT

Mode. None

CAT works with a number of Yaesu models and speed can go up to 38400.
Right now the problem is (my guess) in the  710's configuration. Beside it there are a 897 and a 450, both using the rear DATA connection. The configuration for both have been reviewed and "translated" after reading the manual to 710 configuration, of course changing the connection from REAR to USB. It seems that something is missing or there is a misunderstanding, because the 710 changes to TX but power output is 0.
Tested also with WSJT and the voice keyer avalaible in Logger32, the 710 changes to TX but no power output. Selecting a external USB sound card, I can hear the outgoing audio, so as I wrote before, my guess is that something is missing in my configuration.

The 710 has a RTTY/DATA connection, it could be tested, but having an USB port it is the very last test.
