I have a problem involving the 9 pin serial port on the back of my FT-847 Yaesu transceiver. When I try to use a null modem cable between the rig and my PC on either COM 1 or 2, the rig will not respond to compatible rig controller (CAT) nor a memory management program. The COM ports have been tested as well as the use of two different PCs. Neither null modem cable works. I have tried to use the Menu feature on the FT-847 to match baud rate between radio and PC COM port. Has anyone had a problem like this with the Yaesu FT-847? I would appreciate knowing.
Thank you.

I have the first CAT version on my FT-847 this one cannot send any data back to the PC he can only be talk to by the PC. If i use Ham radio deluxe i am unable to have the program connected to the FT-847 but FT-847 super control is able to connect without any problem!
I always keep the max baud rate at 57600 on the menu and this never seems to be a problem.
After couple of years my FT-847 start to behave anomaly i solved the problem with a master reset.
What program are you using to connect with your 847?
