Re: [amsat-bb] FT-847 Computer Control

["Simon Brown \(HB9DRV\)" <simon@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Eric,

I just got this working with the TS-2000 in Holland (big thanks to PD5DP). 
Failed with the FT-847 but that may have been remote operator error - I will 
try again with him this evening.

I think I'll give up software and take up crochet.
