Hi Jon,

have you installed the virtual COM port drivers for the rig on your PC? YES, COPIED FROM THE YAESU WEB SITE

Do you have the right COM port selected for CAT (you need the extended COM port)? YES, COMPORT, RADIO AND WSJTX ARE SAME

As you have Hardware handshaking enabled, do you have RTS enabled in the rig's menu? NOTHING IS BUT WHAT PORT?

Hi Jon,

settings do you have in "Settings->Radio"
com port 6, as the Port says, ?
