Hello Howard, I just tested CAT steering of 2 Yaesu transceivers. Since I don't have a FT-857 I made the test with my FT-847 as "Radio 1" on the uhf antenna and the FT-817 as "Radio 2" on the vhf antenna. That worked flawlessly also with SSB sats. With FO-29 I could tune the FT-847 as RX and the FT-817 as TX followed, with VO-52 I could tune the FT-817, now the RX, and the FT-847, now as TX, followed. Also the "Uplink Calibration" (menu "CAT") was no problem. Lateron I configured the FT-817 as "Radio 1" and the FT-847 as "Radio 2" and that worked also flawlessly.
I will send you my setup with a separate mail off the list.
73s, Erich, DK1TB
