            FT-727R CAT System Interfacing and Control



This information describes the hardware and software requirements of

the CAT (Computer Aided Tranceiver) System in the FT-727R.



Connections



Four connections are used by the CAT SystemL three at the CAT jack,

illustrated below, and one (Signal Ground) ar the outer contact of the

MIC or EAR jack.



DO NOT SHORT THE OUTER CONTACT OF THE CAT JACK TO GROUND!!!



[Diagram of the CAT plug:



Looks like a stereo audio jack of the appropriate size.



The outer sleeve is +6 to +12 V DC (Battery Voltage) I do not think

this line needs to be connected.



The middle contact is the Serial KeyCode Input.



The center contact is the Serial Meter Output (00h to 0Fh).



See the manual for further description.]



Data Format:



All serial data consists of single byte binary codes sent at 4800

baud, TTL levels, with two INVERTED stop bits and one INVERTED start

bit.



Key Codes:



CAT Control consists of duplication the keystrokes that can be made on

the tranceiver keypad by sending the corresponding keycodes to the

Serial Keycode Input contact of the CAT jack.  The most significant

four bits (MSD) correspond with the key column and the least

significant four bits (LSD) correspond with the key row.  The Function

key (on the side of the tranceiver) is simulated by setting bit 7.

Results are identical to those described for manual operation in the

FT-727R Operating Manual.  Serial Meter Output is sent approximately

every 100 ms while receiving.



[Table for the codes.  The lines in [] are the original values in the

 Yaesu handout, and are followed by the corrected lines as determined

 by KB7ABA.  Remove the lines in [] to see what sould be the right table.]
