I see that the site that you provided the link for sells cabling for the Yaesu FRG-100 and the Yaesu FT-840, and I need both cables. (you probably just got them 2 sales) I know that my Icom R-75 has the ability to connect via the CAT or the Serial Port. The Yaesu radios only have the ability to connect via their CAT ports (i.e. that have no conventional serial ports). If I bought these cables, would I be able to directly connect my Yaesu radios to the computer, without additional signal level conversion? I downloaded HAM Radio Deluxe with the idea that I was going to need to get CAT compliant cabling. On a lark, I used my USB to serial adapter, into a serial cable, into the Icom R-75 serial port, and viola, the program works with the radio. I didn't expect this. I thought I had to have a special CAT cable to use HAM Radio Deluxe with the radio, as the software does not make any fanfare about using the serial port. "Ham Radio Deluxe (HRD) is a suite of free Windows programs providing CAT control for commonly used transceivers and receivers." Look He http://www.eham.net/articles/2148?eh...b6dc8340758a5b It's a homebuilt circuit to interface your radio with a computer. Is all this circuitry included in the cabling from the link that you provided? I am somewhat confused concerning the difference between the CAT port, the serial port, and the expectations that the software has concerning these ports. Any help would be appreciated. Dr. Artaud First and foremost I am NOT an expert. I believe the cables that I bought will get any power they need from the computer. The best way to get the correct answer I think is to ask the man himself, his address is = Mark Stennett P.O.Box 2283 Georgetown, tx 78627 ========================== Last known e-mail = Hope this helps :') My fault for being loose with the word. I meant could I run .txt files with HF freq's. I have downloaded and installed the program and am starting to play with the software virtual radio's. I have ordered a LUK-3 cable and USB adapter for my Kenwood ts-450-sat. http://www.sarrio.com/sarrio/w1gee.html ILG is still supported with the newest software release 031b687. The learning curve seems pretty quick. CAT software for the ts-450-sat is hard to come by. |
