I've used a Serial to USB cable to connect the rig to the Raspberry Pi and the laptop. In both cases, the 'CAT' comes up on the rig, but programs fail to complete the connection. The Serial number that I made reference to was from a post: "...Yaesu appears to use the following format for serial numbers on their amateur products: Year of manufacture-Month of manufacture-Production Run-Individual Unit number, where the month of manufacture is offset by 2, so "C" means January, "D" means February, "E" means March, and so forth. Example: 8G051234 = 1998, May (fifth month, or "G"), Production Run 05, unit #1234 in this run. One key serial number range is 8G05. This seems to be the point at which Yaesu had corrected the bi-directional CAT issue and made some other improvements. This version was made in May 1998. Later serial numbers (e.g., 8L09nnnn) all seem to have incorporated the earlier improvements plus new ones...." That would mean that the port was unidirectional prior to this, my serial number is "4M950027", hence I was wondering what data is that the rig was sending back to the CommsTest program when tuning across a band.
