Just to follow up. I'm using a standard Null modem cable pins 2 and 3 crossed over and 5 GND. That goes to a Brain Boxes Industrial RS232 to USB. US-25701 and although its a bit of a pig to setup?it works incredibly?well at forcing?COM2 and COM4 pots

Greetings All
While I am trying to get my 847 setup for digital operations such as FT8, I have come across a CAT control problem.
My rig is from 1990, serial 0M45xxxx so it shouldn't have any difficulties. I tried a CPU reset with no change.
I can get the FT847UNI drivers working in JTDX, but not the Bi-Directional driver.
While this might be the bare minimum necessary for digital operation, I would like to get the OmniRig drivers working so that I can get my logging program (Log4OMv2) working alongside another app to follow the freq.
I know there is a HamLib option in Log4OM, but I can't get that to work (it is native in JTDX) so I am wondering...

Is there anyone who has their 847 working with bi-directional CAT control? If so, what cables are you using with what software?
