Hello All,
In November, I had my MAX232CWE fail, and thus lost the CAT function on my FT-1000MP. I recently shipped my radio off to Byron, WA4GEG (1000MP Repair) and he replaced the MAX232CWE as well as tested it before it left his shop. 
This afternoon, I plugged my CAT serial cable in between my FT-1000MP and computer, and went into my logging program. As soon as the program began polling the radio, the new MAX232CWE failed. 
I've checked, and there is no idle AC voltage between the radio and computer. Does anyone have an idea what might be causing this? 

73,
