I use DigiRig several times a week with VaraFM…using my FT3d or FT-65. Denis has great cables and the DigiRig common configuration works great for me. Information he provides here is exactly the way I use it. Be sure to open squelch and adjust VU meter using the volume knob on your radio. It works!
I hosed my new Dell Windows 10 laptop sound drivers trying to setup Digirig. I had no sound output on my laptop except from the USB port with either the Digirig or Signalink USB plugged in. I've been so frustrated that I haven't been doing digital when I used to lead two digital sessesions every week. It seemed like every time I would get the Digirig working with one of the ham apps like FLDIGI Windows would later repair itself and the driver I manually installed would get lost by Windows. The driver issue is CRAP!
Sounds like you experienced issues related to defaults assignment. Each time you plug in a new sound card device or existing sound card in the different USB port, make sure to review the settings as shown in this video. This includes reassigning the defaults to your computer's normal speaker and mic as well as adjusting audio settings in the digital modes software. If you need further help, please post the question in the forum and we'll look at the particulars.
I had similar issues running Echolink on Windows10. Every time it forced a system update. It would screw with my sound card settings. Somehow? It has finally stayed correct!
That's a reasonable question considering that (multi-user) FT8 is not practical over FM. The reason WSJT-X is used for troubleshooting here is because it is one of the simplest apps to install and configure. With that we can get to PTT test with lowest chances of getting stuck on the way. Once PTT is confirmed working from WSJT-X we can move to using more involved software setup.
I must say, this has been the most helpful video. Just maybe I'll be able to get my Digirig up and running today. thx
Denis, thank you for your patience over the past two weeks. Your email guidance and this video helped me to find the issue. 👍👍 Mike T.
Great tips and tricks Denis! Thanks!
Extremely useful info - thank you so much !
VERY HELPFUL!!
Can you operate Echolink with a DigiRig? No one seems to know an answer!
Yes, you can. Please see forum.digirig.net/t/digirig-and-echolink/181/3

Stupid question here, but what’s the purpose of hooking up a vhf/uhf to wsjtx
