<div dir="ltr">Lol! I am not <b>that</b> masochistic. I cut one end of an existing MiniDIN cable, stripped it and used that to put a DIN connector on there. Blew it the first time and melted the plastic, got it right the 2nd time. Still a pain but not nearly as bad as trying to solder MiniDIN with Puerto Rican Redneck fingers.

<div dir="ltr">This week I was about this >< close from
chucking digital modes out the (*@&^#$! window when I
finally got a hold of a proper CAT interface for my FT-840, a
FIF-232C box that converts RS-232 to TTL levels and back. Took
me two tries to get the DIN<->MiniDIN cable right because
of Yaesu's poor excuse for a proper schematic, but FINALLY, I
can do digital modes without a single USB cable to worry about
RFI sneaking in and ruining my setup. WSJT-X finally works
without a hitch with full CAT control.
