Let's set up the FT991 first
1. Click the Menu/Setup button and set the following menu items to these values (courtesy of
G4WJS):
i. 029 = 38400bps
ii. 030 = 10msec
iii. 031 = 38400
iv. 062 = OTHERS
v. 064 = 1500Hz
vi. 065 = 1500Hz
vii. 066 = OFF
viii. 068 = OFF
ix. 070 = REAR
x. 071 = DAKY
xi. 072 = USB
2. Exit the Menu/Setup and press the F (M-List) key, then set up the following buttons:
i. NAR/WIDE to WIDE
ii. NB doesn't matter
iii. AGC = AUTO
iv. RF POWER = set to max drive power for your amplifier (if you use one). Mine gets to
full output at 25w
3. DT GAIN = you'll have to fuss with this, as it affects the ALC. I set it so I get to max drive with
the WSJT-X power slider all the way up
