Hi Aaron, I haven't had any trouble with the CAT, so I'm sorry to hear it's not going as smoothly for you. The first thing I'd recommend checking is whether or not you have the correct port, since

Some users selected FT-857 rather than FT-817.

Everything I try on changing the settings in the Test CAT I get a popup that says "Rig Failure Hamlib error: IO error while opening the connection to the rig" Can this work without the CAT Control?

Evan, yes as i had said :"I tried to run the µbitx manager program (Version 0.97 or 1.11)" I have tested this link before and install. Same message.
