The FT1000MP is known to have a finicky CAT port, but some other brands of
USB to Serial port adapters have been shown to work with it.
I sent one of the KeySpan adapters to the deveoloper of some TCL-based
software and it turns out that TCL doesn't even recognize the KeySpan
adapter ports, period. Other USB to Serial Port adapters work fine with
the TCL-based software.
I have a friend with a ft1000mp and he had a devil of a time with his serial
cable for psk 31, apparently a standard 9 pin has an extra wire in it that
grounds something that shouldn't be grounded, so he ended up building a 3 wire
cable which worked well.
