Hi,
I purchased the CAT to Bluetooth Adapter. When I plug it into the Accessory Jack of my FT-857D and then I follow the instructions shown on the ebaY page trying to run pocket RxTx, nothing happens.
I am trying to use my Samsung S20 5G phone. All of my software is up to date. I use the following procedure:
1. Connect the BT Adapter to the FT-857D Accessory Jack.
2. Power up the FT-857D
3. Start pocket RxTx
4. Press Start on the pRxTx program
At this point, nothing happens.
I press the Bluetooth icon on the pRxTx and it goes to the Bluetooth page. It goes back to the setup and I have tried everything I can think of. I have tried all data rate settings on the FT-8t7D. No change, nothing seems to work.
The light on the Bluetooth Adapter does not light, I get no signal that indicates that my phone has not synced (Paired) with my phone.
Finally, happens. I cannot control my radio.
One last point, This sytem works correctly when connected with USB on this radio and this phone. I do not want to return this device, I really need it to work.
HELP!!!!!
