I am using the 1258 pair for my Yaesu 857D. The Yaesu is at a tower connected to my YT-100 tuner. No problems there.
I am exhausted trying to get any form of memory control for the Yaesu to work. HRD, Chirp...(would try FTBasic but locked without purchase) I tried a Linux Ubuntu box there with the Yaesu RT USB cable. Hours of settings using chirp......no go.
I have read in this forum where the control end can simply connect to a computer on com 2 and I can set the 1258 to Logical parallel with Com zero. I have used FTBasicMMO tool (free) to monitor the usb port on the front of the unit and data just pours......but evidently nothing intelligent. I have purchased a serial com to usb converter. Also no luck.
Surely. Surely, there is a specific manner to make this work. I don't care what adapter I need or what software....I just want the thing to work. I have the I/O connected to read the led on the YT-100 Tuner and even push the button. That works great! Full Remote head, no problems.
Please assist with absolute, detailed, non assuming instructions to make this work.
Thanks very much,
