Hi Michael, If I’m not mistaken, the tuner only uses the Band Data pin from the radio to tell it what band you’re on (plus Gnd and power, of course). The CAT Tx and Rx pins are different

This is kind of a continuation of the display thread/subject. I received the display yesterday. It came with the mini DIN cable and my 817 was able to power it. However, I am using the cat port for

Is 817 Commander a better option than Pocket RxTx lite? Has anyone tried/used both? Mike Davis WA1MAD

Well, when you ask a question on this group, you sure get some very interesting and helpful answers. I now have a CAT cable coming, an older Android phone repurposed with pocket RX TX loaded and

Julio EB4CUV and me designed a nice CAT display for FT817 which looks like an Icom705 Still some units available. But it is intended for V-UHF and microwaves use (along with the proper

I also bought a mini din bluetooth CAT device. It works well with RXTX and even with other PC applications. But I encountered a problem: when you turn off the FT-817ND the bluetooth device does not

Thanks Steve, I may not get it, since I keep getting messages that my order needs to be completed, yet another message that it’s o n it’s way. I think it’s a PayPal thing and really has been or

I ordered one too and will try it. After it comes in We can get together and figure something out. I have both a 857 and 817 radios. dont  open yours till we see if it works as you may be able to

It will hopefully work. The guy on YouTube couldn't get it to work. 857 and 897 worked. I also just ordered a bluetooth CAT device that works with the Android rx/tx app. Obviously, I'm out of

The listings I see for 12864 displays list the three FT-8x7 radios as compatible, not just FT-857 or FT-817... Ken, N2VIP

I've got a Bluetooth cat dongle plugs into 817. Like Jeff, can use 817 commander wireless for screen display and direct entry etc etc. Good for digimodes ptt too. Toby MM0TOB

Hi Mike, I have used the FT817 commander android app with an old android tablet and an OTG cable.  It also works on the Z-817 tuner pass through. 73 de

Ah, the tuner. Yes, that can complicate things, but looking at the Z817 tuner manual the tuner has a "pass through" CAT port on the back. You should be able to connect the display to that

Thanks Greg. I’m nowhere as talented as you in understanding the options. I do have a spare backup camera kit…hmmm. My other concern is that I’m using the CAT connection for the Z817 LDG tuner.

I've not used that particular product, but I don't think there's much more to know about it. Connect it to the radio and get the two to talking. The device just loops through fetching the

Hi, my non ND 817 display is fine, but 2 color backlighting isn’t very helpful in low light. I see a $42.88 external CAT display device, 12864 on Ali Express, but very little info. I’m not skilled
