I found it in the FT1000Mp manual. It clearly states the cable must be a 'standard' and not a 'null-modem' cable.
Apparently the 847 either didn't utilize that specific wires or required a different type of cable than the MP does. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Peter Dougherty" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Sunday, March 16, 2003 5:19 PM Subject: [DXBase] DX Base and the Yaesu FT-847 > Hi folks, > > I'm attempting to get a Yaesu FT-847 working with DX Base, and and > afternoon of tinkering left things in the same un-functioning state. > > The radio and computer are connected by a null-modem cable as recommended > by Yaesu.
