I have and it seems to work fine controlling my FT847. I've not yet tried to steer my antennas with it yet though.

Yes, it works fine, although I have not tried to steer the rotors or tune the radio with it under Windows 7 yet.
One suggestion, though: during installation, do NOT accept the default installation directory. Install it into a custom folder in the root directory to avoid user account control issues.

I have used it with my FT-736R using the radio serial port using a Edgeport USB to 8-port serial converter and with USB port LVB tracker Yaesu G-5400 rotor control. All worked fine under Windows 7 64 bit Home Edition .
I do seem to have an issue of RF interfering with the LVB tracker unit. Occasionally, the LVB tracker communications is lost when I am transmitting. If I disconnect the USB cable and reconnect it, LVB tracker works again. I have tested receive only operation for many hours and never had a problem with the rotor tracking or radio control.
