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.

If you are not going to use the 857 for phone, CAT is possible through the mic
connector.

Richard,
there are two sockets on the back of the FT-817/857/897(D) rigs.
One for DATA AFSK audio and PTT, the other for CAT control:
You need a CAT interface cable if you want CAT control of your
rig.

Replace the Signalink with something else. I'd find a
combined CAT and audio cable system like the XGGCOMMS.com
Digimode-1-Yaesu and an external USB soundcard. This will give
you full audio and CAT control.

Hi Mike:
My name is Tom and my call is N8TL. I wanted to pass along to you
some information that you might not be aware of. The previous
owner of the W8DN call sign was Russell Flora from Sylvania,
Ohio. Located on outskirts of Toledo. In my teen days, I would
attend Mobile Radio Club meetings at Russ's garage. Russ was a
good friend and Ham Radio Mentor. His primary mode was AM on 160
meters. There were a lot of 160 meter mobile hams in those days.
This time frame was the late 1950's to the mid to late 1960's.
Thought you might be interested in the history.
Regards, and, 73, Tom N8TL

will require CAT connection and appropriate interface.

The SignaLink does not have any connection for radio control. It is only a sound card for audio plus a PTT signal derived from the audio.
You need a separate connection for radio control. In the case of the FT897, that would be from a serial port or USB-to-serial adapter from the computer, connected to the radio's CAT/linear connector through a CT-62 or equivalent adapter.
