I disagree with the earlier posting that there is "nothing wrong" with the
current CAT setup on the FT-847.
The user manual and promotional materials clearly state that radio can be
used for contesting and computer logging. Bull. There is *no way*
retrieve the VFO frequencies from the rig. Yaesu promised me at Dayton
that this issue would be resolved. A month later, I'm still waiting for a
response. Recent email has been ignored.
I agree that the FT-847 is loaded with features, and it has great
performance. However, lack of CAT functionality is unacceptable. The radio
is brain dead.
