Title: Configuartion for Yaesu FT8900/8800
Post by: wr7agt on 2013-04-15, 04:13:33

Hi all, new to the remote rig although I have owned a pair for over a year. We plan to use a TS480 at a mountain top remote, quiet site and do the install this summer.

But before doing that and as a possible second setup, we would like to install a Yaesu FT8900 on another mountain top where a VHF/UHF remote would work great here in Montana. When looking at the remote rig website, it mentions that the yaesu is now compatible with the 1258MKII, although I suspect I will need a couple of firmware upgrades since I bought the pair. However, unlike the TS480 info I found that shows jumper wire configuration for it, I cannot find the same info for a FT8900. Is it on the site somewhere or is it something even simpler that I am missing. Would like to get comfortable with this setup first before doing the HF rig later.

Any help on this setup would be appreciated.

Sorry for the duplicate post, saw that this was the better forum for this.

Thanks Mike, I knew it had to be somewhere simple! Also has all the info we need for the TS480.
