In your message you quote F6DEX as saying ...
"In fact retrieving the frequency is not =3Dusefull if it is not =
possible to have a=20
dual control of the 847. When =3Dyou enter in CAT control mode, all the =
front=20
panel controls are =3Ddisabled....".
This is NOT true. Unlike the FT-736R when the FT-847 is in CAT mode you =
do have dual control. The front panel controls are NOT disabled. It is =
true that the FT-847 does not send frequency and mode information to the =
computer like in other radios.
I have seen postings about this so called defect of the CAT function. =
The CAT function works just fine on both my FT-736R and FT-847. I can =
see posting a message about the CAT function not working or about the =
radio not sending certain information to the computer. But why does =
everyone post a message trying to make it sound like some sort of defect =
? If you are using the CAT function and operating the radio by computer =
there is no need for the radio to send frequency or mode information to =
the computer. If the need is for the present frequency and mode =
information to be added to logging functions within a CAT software this =
can be done with software routines within the program and no need for =
the radio to communicate them to the computer. Unlike my program =
"CATLink Pro for the FT-736R", the new program for the FT-847 I am =
working on will have this capability. You will simply just click the =
"save to log" button and all info will be saved to the next log record.
I would just like to say, "Congradulations Yaesu!" for a very fine =
product in the Yaesu FT-847.
