CAT Isolated?


 

Hello everyone,
I bought a second hand Yaesu FT847 and then I was build a isolated interface for DATA IN/OUT port. It works very well but I haven't build null modem cable for CAT control.
I am not familiar with the CAT communication protocol. I use FTDI for PTT control. In FTDI, RX and TX ports are empty and I want to use these ports because I want to using interface one USB cable. Of course, using optocoupler. How can I do it? How should I connect the optocouplers or what kind of circuit should I create?
Thx and 73.

Hello dr om,

I use FT847 with SUCCI interface and no problems, I connect FT847 by his cable to SUCCI interface (eBay) you must specified then it is for FT847.
I use it more then 10 years with UCX Log and SatPC32 prgm without problems...

Thx Yvan for answer the question but in my country we can not order because We can not use Paypal. It is banned on TR.


 

Thx Jeff for answering. It will work fine but I want to isolate between PC and Yaesu.?Does this null modem cable (FTDI,Profilic,CH340 etc.) provide isolation between the PC and Yaesu? As far as I know it doesn't.


 

Thx Jaime for answer. I will use Digital Modes for VHF.

I found that RT Systems programing software provided a USB to serial interface for the FT-847.
Also enabled PCSat32 (and Ham Radio Deluxe)? to work fine.?

Yes, too bad for Paypal, I stop use it also...
Otherweis, it is Vesselin Kotarov LZ5VK (vesselin@...) who is conceptor of this interface.
