[Yaesu] Computer interface cable

[Bill Morris Denton]

My wife gave me a interface cable for Christmas last year. She ordered it
from rasmey and it works fine.  It's in the $50.00 range  Same for MFJ.  I
use mine on my FT-990.  I run LOG-EQF and NA for logging and it works ok.
I also have the FT-990 soft ware control program that some one wrote and
it works fine with that also.
