Hi Ron, WJ1I? here and 73 from Cape Cod .
I have a 847 running rock solid on CAT control.? You cannot use the external tuner control and CAT at the same time...one or the other.? Very important- you need a "null modem" cable or adapter between the pc and the radio . This? swaps the rx and tx lines? . Without this you'll get nothing!?
Next, as others have suggested, I strongly encourage using? only FDTI chip set USB adapters. I've found?https://www.startech.com/en-eu/cards-adapters/icusb2321f to be rock solid performers. Alternatively fit a pci rs232 card if using a desktop PC .?

Subject: [YaesuFT847] Serial cable question
Hi,
Can someone advise me a USB to serial RS-232 cable that works with the FT-847. I have a model with a Prolific230GT chip that does not connect. I have done several tests with a serial check software, and it seems to work ok. No luck with the FT-847 connecting tough.
