Jackie,

The FT-847 will run on HRD using the 9 pin D-sub connector on the back of the FT-847.  It's been a long time since I've had them connected, but the point is it did work.  If I recall, I had to set the baud rate fairly slow to make it happen, like 9600 or so, but that may have been a function of the serial card in my pc, not anything to do with the software. This was with one of the 4.x versions of HRD.  I have not tired using any of the HRD version 5.x with the FT-847.

I don't know anything about the Signalink.

If you don't get any more help here, you might try asking in the Digital forum.
