I recently purchased a new Yaesu ham radio with a CAT interface (computer control). The radio itself is about the size of a portable gps unit.
There are apparently [at least] two USB CAT cables available - of which one uses the ftdi chipset, which, reportedly, is the best/only one that works with the radio. So, once received from amazon, I'm going to test various Mac, Windows, and Linux-based applications to work with the radio. >From a chipset compatibility standpoint, what do people know about ftdi and linux? I know I could always visit the ftdi page, but anyone with practical knowledge here would be great. Also, I'd be looking into a cheap netbook (probably from amazon), something small and simple, to use with the radio. Insights here welcome, too. Thanks.
