I would agree with Dave. Mine works by toggling the C- C+. One note. Are you using the Yaesu Autotuner? I believe the Cat Port does not function when the autotuner is plugged in.

Al, I find that I need to toggle from C+ to C- and back to C+ in order to get things to work on my FT-847. I usually select the satellite, turn on the rotator, turn on the radio and then toggle the CAT control...see if this helps.
FYI, I also have my CAT rate at 57600...can't seem to find that setting in SatPC32 anywhere though. I'm using an ACER Netbook running XP, com4 for radio, com6 for rotator and using RT Systems serial to USB converters...and a real null modem cable on the CAT (not all cables are null modem).
