CAT control half-working!

Hello fellow hams! I was testing the new WRL CAT Control software, which was hooked up to my Yaesu FT-710. The good news was that the application seamlessly uploaded contacts established from WSJT-Z to my logbook. The only problem was that the signal strength meter remained inactive throughout the entire operation (due to an inconsistent connection with the radio). Besides this, I recommend using this auto-logging software 100%!

@KJ5LMZ Yes as mentioned before we are aware of the issue with rig control and the 710, dx10 and 101mp and are working on getting a fix released.

Thanks & 73

Ok I might have to start using this for my 710. Here is a question, can you change to 60m and still use cat control or do you manually have to select the memory still?

@AA8TT I’m not sure i’m understanding what you are meaning. Are you asking if you can change to 60 meters and still use cat control?

When I change freq on ft8 because Yeasu (710)uses memories only for 60m I have to manually put it into 60m. It works fine once I’m there but if I change bands and try to go back it usually uses freq, so it won’t transmit. That was why I was asking, since he was on 710 if it worked. That would be great for me because I remote to my computer most of the time. I currently have to set up 60m before I leave and try to make all my contacts before changing bands. Once I change I can’t go back to band.
