[Yaesu] CAT Control Problem

[Jack Trampler - N2JT]

Larry,

I had the same problem.  I replaced the Q5006 the RS-232 interface and the
CAT works fine now.  The chip is a Maxim MAX232CWE.  At the very least you
will need a stationary magnifying glass or jewelers eyeloop, a thin pencil
soldering iron and patience.  The entire job took less than an hour.


73,
