[amsat-bb] CAT cable to FT-847

[Alan]

It does require a null modem cable/adapter, which is not the typical Yaesu requirement.

"Real" serial ports are great, and save a lot of head scratching.  ;)

<FYI: the 847 has a standard serial port on back for CAT and programming.
<If you are using a special cable it must be because you no longer have
