[chirp_users] Chirp - Yaesu FT-987D
Hello,
I tried Chirp both for Windows XP and for Linux / Ubuntu. Since the version in the PPA for ham radio in Ubuntu is not the latest, I installed from the compressed file on the chrip web downloads page. I also downloaded and installed the Windows exe and installed it on the same laptop - dual booting into Windows XP or Ubuntu Precise.
I am using a G4ZIP dual usb interface - it does CAT and Sound Card modes.
In Windows it uses COM4 and under Linux it uses /dev/ttyUSB1 although /dev/ttyUSB0 is also available but I think that's the external sound card in the G4ZIP interface.
Both versions don't list the Yaesu FT-897 so I used the Yaesu FT-857 US Version instead.
I tried the Linux version - no luck downloading - I got the error was expecting 4 something and received 0 error message. I noticed I could set to ;/dev/ttyUSB0 or USB1 but I could NOT set the baud rate which is 38,400.
In Linux I looked at the devices: ls /dev/ttyUS? -l
I saw they belonged the group dialout so I added my username to group dialout using sudo adduser username dialout and logged my user out and rebooted the system. No luck.
I tried putting the FT897 into memory mode when starting, and I tried leaving it in VFO mode.
Is there something I'm missing?

Hi David

The latest daily has many improvements on 857/897 driver, please go on using it :)
Both versions don't list the Yaesu FT-897 so I used the Yaesu FT-857 US Version instead.
In the latest version they are listed as FT-859/897 this is one of the improvents ;)
I tried the Linux version - no luck downloading - I got the error was expecting 4 something and received 0 error message. I noticed I could set to ;/dev/ttyUSB0 or USB1 but I could NOT set the baud rate which is 38,400.
You missed this http://chirp.danplanet.com/projects/chirp/wiki/Beginners_Guide there is a specific note for yaesu like 897. During clone the serial speed is fixed, no matter what you set in radio menus. I don't know which of the two ttyUSB is the right one, try both

Hello Marco,
I saw the note on Yaesu, but I didn't know that the FT-897D has a "clone" mode. If it does, that is the problem.
More reading into the owner's manual is needed.
I need to RTFM I guess. :-)
