Ron, I'm a bit puzzled by the phrase "not recognized" by the software.? I don't recall any of the Ham software packages "recognizing" the 847 as an 847.? Rather, I tell the software that I have an 847 and it just trusts that I am correct and talks to the rig just fine.? I take it that the software isn't able to talk to the rig in any way, i.e. the "CAT" icon doesn't light up on the display?? Should be on the far right.

You might check the rig's configuration (Menu #37 - CAT Rate) for the BAUD rate; make sure it matches what you're using on the computer.? 9600 is common (and is what I'm using), but not the only choice.

One final note, just to make sure you're aware.? The 847 is rather unique in how it treats the CAT interface with respect to keying the rig for digital modes.? You cannot use the CAT interface to key the rig if the audio you're intending to transmit is coming in from either the TRS or DIN connectors on the back.? For some bizarre reason now mercifully lost to history, keying the 847 from the CAT port pulls audio from the Mike connector on the front.? Use the CAT interface for setting frequency and mode, but key the rig via a hardware line through the TRS if you're using one of the HF SSB modes, or the DIN port if running VHF/UHF FM.? The audio source needs to match the PTT keying port.? Breaking out one of the modem lines from the USB-Serial dongle is common, feeding it through an NPN transistor and such.? Lots of schematics on the Web.
