Re: [BVARC] Anyone know how to fix a cat cable com port issue?

I know its a bit late, but the prolific type serial adapter is a big no no.I use this on my 450. Windows loads its own driver and it always works on every computer. FTDI and SI labs are the good chips for serial

Re: [BVARC] Anyone know how to fix a cat cable com port issue?

You have not stated what Windows version you are using. It is likely the USB serial adapter is at fault. The Chinese fake Proflic cables abound (and In my opinion should be avoided). Proflic prepared drivers that would detect the fakes and disable them, although that was later rescinded. I seem

One more update - this is what it says in my manual - The FT450 D has a built-in level converter, allowing direct connection from the rear panel CAT jack to the serial port of your computer without the need of any external boxes. You will need a serial cable for connection to the RS-232C (serial

Re: [BVARC] Anyone know how to fix a cat cable com port issue?

Updated message on the com port issue. Ok, so I went back to the original usb to db9 serial cable and plugged it in. On Windows Device Manager, there is NO com4 port showing a Prolific device. So I unplugged it and plugged in the NEW cable I got through Amazon. In Windows Device Manager it shows

Re: [BVARC] Anyone know how to fix a cat cable com port issue?

Many USB serial cables do not implement all the signals needed for flow control. Looking at the 450d manual, it appears to use the RTS And CTS signals. But looking further... Another possible issue is to have matching bit rates, stop bits and parity on both the radio and computer (likely 4800

Re: [BVARC] Anyone know how to fix a cat cable com port issue?

Marty, Look at the schematic of the 450 CAT DB9 port in the FT450 CAT User Manual. Measure continuity on the Serial in and Out pins on the CAT end to the data in and out pins on the USB (find a pin out on the web).If they show proper continuity it is not the cableIf not.wrong cable.

Re: [BVARC] Anyone know how to fix a cat cable com port issue?

Are you using the DB9 port or the round one that comes with a Rig Blaster?That happened to me when i attempted to use the serial port created by my rig blaster once. Make sure Digital VOX is turned off as well. That can Key the radio inadvertently.  On Sunday, April 28, 2019, 10:41:18 AM

Re: [BVARC] Anyone know how to fix a cat cable com port issue?

I recently bought a FTdx3000 that requires the enhanced USB com port drivers to be installed from Yaesu's web site. This might also be true for your Yaesu 450d, Dave,N5EKW On Sunday, April 28, 2019, 9:43:23 AM CDT, SETX Telecom via BVARC wrote: Plugging the cable into the radio

Plugging the cable into the radio should not cause it to do anything. I hate to say it but it sounds like you got the wrong cable Chris WB5ITT On Sun, Apr 28, 2019, 8:13 AM Martin Blaise via BVARC wrote: > I am trying to get my Yaesu 450d to work with a Cat Cable to the usb port > on the

[BVARC] Anyone know how to fix a cat cable com port issue?

I am trying to get my Yaesu 450d to work with a Cat Cable to the usb port on the computer. When I plug in the cable I hear clicks on the radio and the TX is flashing. But when I try to use the PCC 450d software I set the com port to 4 and then click on com. It tries to connect, but then always
