Be aware that the pin-outs in some versions of the Yaesu 736 manual for the 
CAT port are reversed.  PIN 2 (the pin in the center on the bottom) is 
actually data in, not data out).  They are also reversed in the FT-100 
manual.  I spent $70 sending a radio into Yaesu repair once because I 
couldn't get a home made level converter to work, only to later discover 
that the documentation is reversed.  As yet, I'm still waiting for an 
apology from Yaesu.
