Tony,
What interface are you using between the computer and radio? The "new" Yaesu rigs expect RTS handshake - if you have a "real" serial port or USB to serial converter with a cable that has all 9 wires set RTS="ON". If you don't have "all 9" - or at least 2-2, 3-3, 5-5, 7-7 and 8-8, go into the rig's menu as set CAT RTS to *disable*. The "new" Yaesu rigs also have a time-out timer on the CAT line. Go into the rig's menu and set CAT TOT to *at least 1000*. Those those two settings seem to be the key to a lot of Yaesu CAT issues. 73, ... Joe, W4TV On 2/18/2013 5:18 PM, Tony McClenny wrote:
