[chirp_users] FT-450D communication problem

[Nigel A. Gunn G8IFF/W8IFF]

We keep getting this issue.

The 450D implements a full serial/RS-232 level  port. Make sure you cable supports RTS/CTS handshaking. You should have 5 wires on the cable, Pin 2 DATA OUT to computer, Pin 3 DATA IN from computer, Pin 5 GROUND, Pin 7 RTS, Pin 8 CTS.
