I have just got hold of an FT990 and would like to use the computer control
via the CAT socket. On reading the manual I see the output is at TTL level
and requires an external interface.
I have a Kenwood IF-232C level converter which did the same job for my old
TS940. Will the kenwood unit work ok with the Yaesu or is there something
I should know about the level converter.
I have checked the ROM version on the 990 and it is 1.30 which I understand
should work ok with most software packages.
I thought I would ask the question before spending a few hours making up
leads for something that will not work.
Any other info on known problems and fixes would be appreciated I do not
think the radio is very old. Ser no 4L380125
Thanks.
