[Yaesu] fif-232c

[Joe Subich, W4TV]

microHAM USB Interface II uses an FTDI USB -> serial chip with 
proprietary "Router" software to create multiple virtual serial 
ports (control, PTT, CW) for compatibility with most logging and 
CAT software.  

The microHAM software WILL NOT support non-microHAM hardware.
