I traded another ham in the area my Yaesu FT-857D for a 9-month-old
Yaesu FT-450 with the built-in autotuner. I like it very well, except
that I have not been able to get the FT-450 to talk with my PC using
either a serial cable straight to the PC or a known-good Radio Shack
USB-Serial converter. Programs I've tested with are the current versions
of MixW and HRD. Both still work with the Yaesu FT-897D I still have,
but not with the FT-450.

Has anyone else here had problems with CAT to/from a Yaesu FT-450? Has
anyone here got CAT working to/from a Yaesu FT-450?

My radio club has a working FT-450 CAT interface. I seem to remember
that we had to try the various options for Yaesu in HRD before finding
success. We use a straight through serial interface. There is also a
CAT program on the Yaesu website for the FT-450. We used it first to
verify the cable wiring before switching to HRD. I am not at the club
station, so can't tell you which Yaesu radio model made HRD work. If
you still have a problem, repost your response and I will have a club
member that lives closer, boot up the computer and print the settings.
Another club member has a personal FT-450 that is also working. This
model Yeasu definately is supported by HRD.
