Starting with serial number 8G05xxxx, two-way CAT control is standard. Many, including QST, complained about this shortfall, and the company modified the firmware in the radio to enable two-way CAT control operations for frequency and mode.

You could use your PC to give commands to the radio, but the radio could not report back any frequency or mode information to the PC.

The original design for the FT-847 did not include two-way CAT control operations for frequency and mode. The Upgrade for older version is no longer available 73's Franco, HB9oabįrom: Franco HB9oab Sent: Decem5:32 AM To: Subject: Re: FT847 Memory managerįYI… some additional info…These are some of my old notes I had for my FT-847… you may find useful. Unfortunately I have not found anything else. It would seem that through software therefore another FT847 must be simulated and dialogue via the CLONE RADIO options (PAG 92>) I tried to ask YAESU if there is better documentation. Since I would like to manage everything through external memory banks with CAT software, self-built as I already do for other things between transceiver and shack management like my FT3000d BARalso to have the 7 smeter bar simultaneously visible and easily adjust the CONT and NOTCH options 'difficult, complicated and not very usable' otherwise through the menu.), to better manage the limits of the FT847 SATELLITE 12 x memories and more such as the variation of the NR (which is not it is described as a CAT command, SAT TAG.), I think that the only possibility is to use the cmd and the dial of the CLONE emulated system: Which in the manual does not report absolutely anything as a definition if not a setting in the menu which, however, does not describes the Up/Dw protocol. The CAT of the FT847 is really very limited and also very poorly explained on the manual. The problem is that you cannot set the number of memories, through the normal CAT only set the frequencies. If you see on the list, it is not possible to set the channel number and save or download the data contained in the radio.So at least it seems from the commands available and declared in the manual that they are not there.
