  2. So I passed my foundation over a year ago and finally decided I wanted to dip my toes into HF. Already got VHF/UHF plus D-star and DMR so wanted to do some HF. I purchased a HF rig (Yaesu FT-980) on eBay for about £200) give or take. Went to collect as the thing weighs 17 KG so not going to be post friendly and wasn't too far from me anyhow.

These apps allow you to log and control your transceiver, and in some cases, receivers via your PC. Amateur applies here to the radio service, not the programs; these apps are often quite professionally developed.


As newer PCs don't have serial ports, connections must be made between the radio and the PC through USB. This can present some difficulties in understanding how to configure the connection correctly. Please see the Connecting scanners via USB article and the Understanding Soundcard Interfacing website for more information.

F T —980 I-IF ALL MODE COMPUTER AIDED TRANSCEIVER GENERAL DESCRIPTION The CAT presents a new leap forward in amateur field, with the highest level of microprocessor control ever offered as a standard feature an all mode, all solid state HF transceiver.

Detailed information regarding functions, installation, interconnections, operation, and installation of options has been provided in the Operating Manual, and is not reprinted herein. Therefore, this Technical Supplement is not intended to serve as an independent reference, but to be used in conjunction with the information provided in the Operating Manual. Because there are nearly eight hundred semiconductor devices in the FT-980 circuit description information is provided in the form of numerous block diagrams and a complete Component Applications list. It is our hope that this manner of providing functional information will prove to be more convenient for the owner and technician than would a lengthy verbal description. Those readers who are not familiar with the basic types of analog and digital circuits that serve as the building blocks of the FT-980 are encouraged to study instructional material, such as that contained in handbooks on amateur radio and digital circuit design, before attempting to understand the design of the FT-980, Each block in the block diagrams represents one such basic circuit, while the Component Applications list provides additional details for each semiconductor. Specific circuit details are provided in the schematic diagrams.
