[amsat-bb] FT-736 CAT Cable & Rotor controller

[Albert van Deursen]

Hi Jeff,
Further to the discussion on the fake chips etc can only recommend to go for
the real stuff. No cheap FTDI imitations nor Prolific ones as I was running
constantly into a lot of (driver) problems. Long story but after some time
of driver problems decided to throw all cheap(er) ones out and go for the
100% real. Since than zero problems. Have the FT-736,FT-817 and IC-910 all
connected this way at the same time to HRD. All my problems were gone once I
decided to only use the original FTDI sets as eg advertised e.g. on
http://www.g4zlp.co.uk/unified/YaesuCAT.shtml.
