Hello,
Universal Radio sells two cables to connect a Yaesu FT817ND radio to a
computer.
The first one on the accessory page for that radio ends in a Usb connector.
The second cable further down the page ends in a serial connector.
The first cable I think comes with a program on a mini disk.
I haven't tried that with Jaws yet.
I think it's only a memory manager and not a program that will let you
really control the radio such as commander does.
