Anybody have the surefire settings to talk to an FT-450D via RS-232? I've tried FTDI adapters w/latest drivers and Prolific adapters. I've tried on Vista, Win7, Win8.1. I've tried various bit rates with 8N1, 8N2, always matching the app (Yaesu's, & others) with the port settings and xceiver parameters. Supposed settings/solutions found via google do not work for me. Does anyone else have theirs working? |

Setup is as follows: PC -> USB/RS-232 Cable -> Gender Bender -> Std DB-9 Cable -> FT-450D I just tried inserting a NULL adapter as follows: PC -> USB/RS-232 Cable -> NULL Adapter -> Gender Bender -> Std DB-9 Cable -> FT-450D Still no luck. (I did try a NULL earlier and had read not to use NULL, but why not try again?) |

Quoted:
Adapter connected to the radio directly or through a db9 <> db9 cable? Not sure why, but this forced me to question the extra DB-9/DB-9 cable I was using. I removed it and all is working now. I make a point to clearly mark my NULL cables if they aren't already marked. I'll have to ring this one out to see what's up. Now as follows: PC -> USB/RS-232 (FTDI) -> Gender Bender -> FT-450D 4800 8N1 - all typical settings - nothing unusual. I assume I'll be able to bump up to 38400. Thanks! |
