Pin 1  is audio into radio                                       use this one
pin 2  is ground                                                    use this one
pin 3  is ptt                                             
pin 4 is  audio out of radio for 9600 baud

New to the post and would like to say Hi.

I am using my new FT-857D (brand New), with the rig expert and MixW.  I
have the CAT operation working I can send information to my rig, and
control my rig.
The problems are simple I hope.  One is that I am finding no information
on my waterfall, its only falling in the lest corner.  Its almost like
my PC is not getting any information from my rig. Could I be missing
something?  Maybe a setting that would allow my rig to look around and
work with the program. I have moved to the HF bands and looked around
but still no luck.
Two my not be a problem my just be my miss understanding.  I jumped
modes to RTTY and all this crazy code come in to the display and just
keeps coming to no end.  Is that the way it should be?

Please Keep in mind that I am a tech, only.


Thanks.
