I thought the RT system cables were intended for programing and not control...... Is it possible that the control option is absent on your model? Just a thought....

Hi Ed,
I just tried a generic KeySpan USB to serial adapter on my Win 7 Pro 64 bit machine and it worked fine. My default baud rate setting was 9600 from SATPC32. I did have to change the radio CAT speed to 9600 just for the quick test (was 57600).

Has anyone had experience with the RT-Systems CAT USB cable they say works with the Yaesu FT-847? I recently received one, and loaded the drivers per the instructions and I am unable to get SATPC32 to connect with the 847. I am running a laptop with Windows 7. Does anyone currently have another vendor's cable that is working with the FT-847? Thanks, and please contact me off list at wa7eth@frontier.com so I don't clutter up the BB with my problems. Thanks..73'..Ed WA7ETH
