Android Remote Control App for Yaesu FT-991A

I’m using RCforb from remotehams.com. Download the server software and read the directions. Then get the app from the droid store on your android computer phone. You can remote more than one radio on the same computer, you just need to install and run 2 instances of the rcforb server and name them differently. I’ve had my 991a and 7300 going at the same time on the same computer. I’m not saying you will, but I had glitches remoting my 7300, where the 991a has been rock solid. With school and family, I don’t have much time to sit in front of the radio, so being able to use the radio through my fone anywhere has been really nice. I can work 80-440 all remote anywhere. Although my wifi signal on the host computer was good, I would lose remote connection to the radio once in a while. Since I hardwired internet wire from the router to the computer, I don’t lose connection anymore.

Settings in Radio:
031 CAT RATE 19200bps
032 CAT TOT 10ms
033 CAT RTS DISABLE
062 Data Mode  OTHERS
064 OTHER DISP (SSB) = 1500 Hz
065 OTHER SHIFT (SSB) = 1500 Hz
066 DATA LCUT FRED = OFF
068 DATA HCUT FREQ = OFF
070 DATA IN SELECT = REAR
071 DATA PTT SELECT = DAKY
072 DATA PORT SELECT = USB

Of course you’ll have to figure out which soundcard and comport your 991a is, but here are the radio Server settings:
