[amsat-bb] CAT cable to FT-847

[Doug - k4GKJ]

I thought the RT system cables were intended for programing and not control......  Is it possible that the control option is absent on your model? 
Just a thought....

Hi Ed,

I just tried a generic KeySpan USB to serial adapter on my Win 7 Pro 64 
bit machine and it worked fine. My default baud rate setting was 9600 
from SATPC32. I did have to change the radio CAT speed to 9600 just for 
the quick test (was 57600).

I recently received one, and loaded the drivers per the instructions and I am unable to get SATPC32 to connect with the 847.  I am running a laptop with Windows 7.  Does anyone currently have another vendor's cable that is working with the FT-847?  Thanks, and please contact me off list at wa7eth at frontier.com so I don't clutter up the BB with my problems.  Thanks..73'..Ed  WA7ETH
