Configuration, RRC 1258 / Yaesu FT-857D / COM port "Logical Parallel with COM0?
« on: 2017-11-29, 02:58:55 »
Here's the situation I have. FT-857D has antenna tuner attached to CAT/Tuner port so I don't have CAT port available. I want to run Ham Radio Deluxe on the control end.
I see in the manual that the Serial setting for COM2 shows "Logical parallel with COM0. = Is used for level converting for CI-V and FT-8x7."
Does this mean that it will extract and bring CAT data to the serial port at the control end to hook to my computer? If so, will this work with using the USB port for serial connection on the control end? I've tried this and can't get HRD or another logging program to connect to the radio. I just get a stream of 0909090909 received from the radio.
Is this supposed to work this way or am I out of luck using my tuner and also HRD?
Thanks,
