Hamlib
Hamlib is required to control the FT-991 via CAT using Gpredict. Gpredict communicates via internal network port to Hamlib. Hamlib sends and receives data from the transceiver. Get the latest Hamlib from https://hamlib.github.io/
Gpredict -> Hamlib -> FT-991A
I created a small batch file to run the Hamlib daemon by double clicking a shortcut on my desktop.
Script:
cd C:\Program Files (x86)\hamlib-w64-3.3\bin
rigctld -m 135 -r COM9 -s 38400 -v
pause
Replace the COM9 with your serial port and 38400 with the speed that you have configured the CAT interface in the FT-991A
