I'm trying to run v2.4.0 (c19d62). Trying to connect to an FT-891 through a Signalink USB. I've got all the settings matched and am getting a "Rig Control Error"
What am I missing?

Not sure what I did, but it is working... Made 4 contacts on FT8 this afternoon.

You'll need to provide some other means for CAT controling the rig. Even without CAT control of your FT-891 you'll be able to make QSOs if you configure WSJT-X so that the radio is set to 'None' and you also set the WSJT-X Tx frequency cursor on the waterfall (or use the Tx frequency box) to somewhere between 1500 and 2000Hz. -- Martin G0HDB

Why are you using a SignaLink? All you need it is a standard USB cable (what's typically called a printer cable) to have both audio and CAT control. Like this: Mike W9MDB

Mike, Because the FT891 does not have an audio CODEC IC inside. It has only a CAT IC chip for rig control and firmware updates. So an external interface is needed for the audio I/O connected to the DATA jack on the back. Bruce N7XGR
