Re: CAT Interface

Re: GEN mode probelm
Back into this thread after a few days hiatus spent playing with non-ham-radio things.

Re: Old Yahoo Files inaccessible
Thanks Roger.
I found it necessary to save the link to my PC and open it from there. For some reason, my Chrome browser wouldn't open the link directly.

Re: GEN mode probelm
Fred,
No FT-980 ever had GEN TX unless it was modified by the owner. I did have one years ago that Phil K4DPK modified and he did not use the risky Yaesu recommended mod.
