General discussion forum / Re: CAT with Tuner Attached 857D RRC-1258 MkII

How to use Remoterig and get CAT control for an FT857D when one has a tuner attached.... my simplified question.
It seems I will have to make up at least once serial cable to attach tuner to RPC and then one the 857D to the RPC. One can be a CT-62.
I was trying to use the feature of CAT over the MIC port using the adapter at the home control end. I had missed out the menu 57 on the 857 which shows NOR and CAT as microphone options which needed setting to CAT. CAT meaning in addition to MIC, but still could not get it to work even if I turned off the other menu tuner options at set the machine to CAT. I suspect I am trying to be too clever as running this with a reverse VPN over 4g and introducing too much latency.
