CAT S

's CAT System allows the transceiver to be controlled by a personal com-

The FT-817

puter. This allows multiple control operations to be fully automated as a single mouse click,

or it allows a third-party software package (such as contest logging software) to communi-

cate with the FT-817

The Optional CAT Interface Cable CT-62 is a connection cable for the FT-817

your computer. The CT-62 has a built-in level converter, allowing direct connection from

the rear panel ACC jack to the serial port of your computer, without the need for an external

RS-232C level converter box.

Vertex Standard does not produce CAT System operating software, due to the wide vari-

ety of personal computers, operating systems, and applications in use today. However, the

FT-817

(and other Yaesu products) are widely supported by third-party software pack-

ages, and we recommend that you contact your dealer for advice, or check advertisements

in amateur radio journals. Most software vendors also have Home Pages on the World Wide

Web which contain a wealth of information on the features and radio support for their

software packages.

The information presented in this section will allow the programmer to understand the

command structure and opcodes used in the FT-817

without (redundant) operator intervention.
