The search-term I needed was – “USB Device Server”. So, the core requirement in remote operation with this technically very capable rig, is to get the data from the composite USB interface onto the network and transparently into my laptop. The Enhanced serial device is the CAT-control comm-port for the rig and the USB Audio CODECs in and out are a bit like you would find with a Signal-Link-type external device.
I tried several Raspberry-Pi-pathologies and a great deal was learned about “socat”, but even more about things that Windows is really not good at.Īrchitecturally the FT-991a has a single physical USB port that supplies (through an internal hub) three comm devices: A USB Audio interface (Mic-in, Speaker-out), a basic USB Serial Device, and a USB Enhanced Serial Device. The goal of this effort was to move out of the basement-shack on nice evenings and operate some SSB, PSK, and FT4/8 from our three-season room. Yes, it is true! I have (after quite a bit of trial and error) arrived at a reliable rig setup for the Yaesu FT-991a that allows me to run all modes with Ham Radio Deluxe software on my Laptop, from anywhere within my LAN.
