Hi Jim,
Oh yes, I saved everything. I bought the cable/level control adapter from a
source that says the cable has been tested. I doubt it is the cable but
then again you never know.
As far as the CAT indicator flashing.....nil.
I changed stop bits on that port as suggested by someone but that did not
work either.
Dave may be correct in that these radios are old. Radio #1 was one of the
first 5 off the line. I dont know how old #2 is but I connected it tonight
with the same results. I just sent an email to Yaesu...perhaps I need some
sort of upgrade or something.
Bob
