I was taking the 847 apart to\nprepare to replace the 232 chip when I noticed the pushed in pin. I simply\npushed the pin back out and problem went away. I hope your problem\nresolution is as simple...\n\n73 Jeff kb2m\n\n\n-----Original Message-----\nFrom: AMSAT-BB [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Jeff\nBreitner\nSent: Saturday, June 11, 2016 3:15 PM\nTo: [email protected]\nSubject: [amsat-bb] FT-847 CAT\n\n\nI have been troubleshooting CAT control problems of my 847 ahead of Field\nDay, and the oddest situation has come to light and wondered if anyone has\nseen this situation.\n\nI used to run Gpredict on my Mac, and on a Linux netbook with the 847, and\nboth worked fine.  In testing the setup in portable operation over Memorial\nDay weekend (on one of the XA birds), CAT control stopped working with the\nNetbook.  Flatly refused to work.  Before I started transmitting, however it\nhad been running all day prior to moving to the portable setup.\n\nI moved to the Mac, and it too wasn't working.  Puzzled, I tried a reset of\nthe CPU in the radio.  Nothing changed.  Tried a different Prolific and FTDI\nUSB adapter.  Nothing.\n\nThe shack computer, a desktop, works fine both Linux and Ham Radio Deluxe\nunder Windows 10, with all three USB adapters.  I also dragged \nout an ancient Sony laptop with a real RS-232 port.  That works.    I \nmade some test scripts on the desktop Linux machine to initiate CAT\ncommands, they worked at all possible port speeds.  Tried the scripts on the\nnetbook and Mac, they do not work.  Hamlib reports a communication error.\n\nI also have a 5 year old i5 Windows machine, never ran HRD and that does not\nwork either.\n\nI am not sure if the radio is on its way out, or if there is just some\nstrange incompatibility between the USB serial adapters, but the desktop box\nworks very reliably where the others do not.  And the last thing I want to\ndo is drag that beast out to FD.\n\nAny input welcome.\n_______________________________________________\nSent via [email protected].
