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

> 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:
