Thanks for your suggestions.

I made direct contact with Mikael Styrefors at microbit, and he sent the correct serial port settings for my FT-857.

All is now working perfectly.

Configuration, RRC 1258 / FT-857 WiFi and Ham Radio Deluxe

« on: 2012-07-09, 13:53:46 »

I have successfully (with help from my friends) set up my detached head FT-857 and a 4G WiFi modem. My next step was to use a laptop running HRD to connect to Com2 on the Control RRC and then from the Radio RRC Com2 to the com port on the FT-857.

I use a CAT-62 interface cable from the FT-857 to the Radio RRC Com2 port, and a Digitech USB to DB9M cable to connect the PC to the Control RRC. These cables when connected together allow HRD to control the FT-857 in its complete configuration with the faceplate attached.

I cannot get HRD to connect when in the remoterig configuration. Both RRC Serial port settings are the same:
Mode-4, 4800 baud, data bits 8, stop bits 1, USB as Com2 - No. The CAT Rate on the FT-857 is also set to 4800 baud.

Is there anybody out there who has got HRD running in the same (or similar) configuration as mine?

I keep on waking up in the middle of the night......
