My FT897 manual page 32 isnt helpful. The ports im the manual are not
numbered that way. I am running an AT897 tuner. I believe i can obtain the
rig control by plugging the computer into the tuner.

Life's journey is not

to arrive at the grave in a well preserved body,

but rather to slide in sideways totally worn out, shouting

"Holy Cow......What a Ride"

That's not correct. Cat is connected to port 2, Signalink is connected to
port 3. see manual page 32

You have to add a connection between your rig’s CAT control and the
computer. The SignaLink provides audio and PTT connections only. It does
not include any interface for rig control (frequency, mode, etc).

I am using a PC with Windows 10 and WSJTX connected to a ft897 through a
signal link. I cannot get the computer to connect to get the frequency.
What settings are required.?
