Yaesu CAT control and Digital mode interfaces allowing you to use Digimode Software such as Ham Radio Deluxe, FLDigi, WSJT-X to operate PSK31, FT-8, JT9, JT-65, Echolink and many other AFSK modes.


We offer a large range of interfaces to ensure maximum compatibility with modern & legacy PCs and Digimode software. Our interfaces are suitable for Windows, Linux and Mac Operating Systems.

Our latest Digimode interfaces have a built-in sound card which frees up your PCs internal sound system for normal operating system duties..

We also offer interfaces that can use your PCs internal sound card to generate/decode your Digimode signals. In this case, your PC will need separate MIC In and Line/Headphone out 3.5mm sockets.

We use icons (as shown below) to give you an overview of the main functions of each interface.

  The interface is suitable for any AFSK and Digital mode such as FT8, JT9, PSK31, WSPR ect. Perfect for use with WSJT-X, FlDigi, Ham Radio Deluxe (DM780), Echolink and many others. 
  The interface has a built-in USB Sound Card based on C-Media CM108 chip. The CM108 Drivers are already in all operating systems by default. This frees up your PCs internal sound card for normal windows functions. 
  The interface gives you CAT control of your radiovia a built in USB Comm port. This allows you to set/get the frequency/mode of your transceiver plus logging features. The interface used the highly reliable FTDI UART comm port chipset.

FT-1000 & FT-1000D Prom 6.0 upgrade

What do I get?

The supply of one programmed Prom with Yaesu Version 6.0 firmware for the FT-1000 and FT-1000D. Full installation instructions will be provided. All you need are a few basic tools and the confidence to carry out this simple installation on the FT-1000 or FT-1000D. You will need remove the original Rom from it's socket on the the control unit and replace it with the supplied Eprom. The installation can easily be carried out in less than half an hour.

Why do I need to upgrade the firmware?

If you intend to control your FT-1000 or FT-1000D from your PC via the CAT (Computer Aided Transceiver) interface, you are advised to have Firmware 6.0 installed. Although earlier versions of the firmware claimed to be CAT compliant with details published in the transceiver user manual, the data format was found to give problems with many CAT control applications. The problems presented themselves as slow control between the radio and PC or no connection at all. The issue seems to be related to the size of the data block returned by the radio being too long causing the CAT control applications to "time out" or lose synchronisation with the transceiver.

Yaesu recognised this issue and released firmware 6.0 to fix the problem. While the FT-1000 and FT-1000D transceivers were supported by Yaesu, a firmware update programme was made available via Yeasu Dealers. This involved returning the transceiver for installation of the new Rom. However, since the Yaesu support for the transceivers has long been discontinued, the Dealer firmware update option was withdrawn.

This "after-market" firmware update will allow you to bring your FT-1000D up to v6.0 which is the very latest Rom version making the transceiver fully CAT compliant with the many CAT control applications available.

How do I know which firmware is currently installed on my FT-1000D?
This is known as the Las Vegas test. Turn off the transceiver and whilst holding the 1+3 keypad buttons, turn the radio back on. The display will reveal the firmware revision. If your FT-1000 returns "Yaesu 6.00" in the display, you already have the latest firmware version and you do not need to buy this Eprom. Transceivers with firmware revisions lower than 6.00 will benefit from the upgrade if you want to make use of the CAT functionality.
