[amsat-bb] Satpc32 to Yaesu ft-736r

[Norm n3ykf]

Stupid question. Does the CAT have to be enabled on the radio?
Including baud rate?
Does the serial port show up in device manager? (NO EXCLAMATION POINT)

But, however, When I have the RTS+12v and the DTR+12v checked sometimes the “CAT Systems” light on the radio lights up; but the radio locks up, and can’t do nothing with it till I cut it off and back on.
