FTM-300 Cat Control

[Blue_ice]

Anyone have cat control working? I called DigiRig and was told to order the 9600 baud cable set and RS-232 configuration. Audio in/out and PTT work but no CAT. When I try to access CAT my radio switches to transmit and gets stuck.

In below thread @David_Barkes succeeded with the CAT control setup on FTM rig after resolving some issues.

Readout of FTM-6000 with YAESU miniDin10 &CAT cable gives 'Format error'

Connected green plug of YAESU DATA&CAT cable to serial socket of digirig. Started ADMS-13 SW and tried to readout FTM-6000. TRX goes into mode ‘CLN Tx’ as described. When RX is started in ADMS-13 and then the DIAL button on the TRX is pressed, ADMS-13 immediately says ‘Format Error’. On the TRX, the message ‘SND.ERR’ appears. The COM port on the PC is recognized properly and it is correctly set in ADMS-13. Tried several baud rates and with/without HW-handshake. No luck. Has anybody been success…

From what I’m finding online FTM-300 has a some CAT capabilities. Another potential source for configuration specifics is the user group for this transceiver model:
