Open Terra Term (free download). Select the right port and open the terminal. Select satellite mode on the radio. If you’re sure you have everything set correctly then you should at least see some garbage come up on the screen.? Set the switch on Terra Term HEX and you should see the frequency of the radio and sub VFO in the HEX.

I tried several FTDI chip serial converters with or without null-modem cables. The coms are 9600, 8,n,2 with or without dtr-rts activated. Seems there is no reply from the radio when connected. RATS847 software can send commands to the radio, like frequency changes, but when I turn the Dial of the radio the frequency is not changed in the program.

The serial number of the radio is: 9E180166.

I have read the manual thoroughly, and I'm fairly used to this kind of problems with other devices. For me, it seems that the RS-232 is not working as it should. What can be done here? I'm thinking of a Bluetooth interface connected to a data port of the radio. Maybe Signal link can offer a solution with their USB interface?

The intention is to use the radio for Satellite coms.

All suggestions are most welcome.
