[Moon-net] WSJT and FT-847

[Martin Andrew]

Had a look at my 847.
Try menu 23 and set to 1200 Baud
Also I have menu 20 monitor volume set to '7' which should give you an idea 
if audio is
being transmitted. Obviously turn 'Moni' on on the front panel !.
RF Power will adjust transmit output, but Mic settings have no affect.
