Programming Cable for Yaesu FT-890
I recently purchased the USB-61 HF cable to enhance frequency performance for my Yaesu FT-890. I was very pleased with the capability to interface my computer with the radio. Installation was easy and facilitated with the USB software supplied. I am using the DX Lab Launcher program that was a free download from their website. There is limited control functions and features, but now I have 100 memories, instead of 30 in the radio, plus many other features in the program. My 30+ year old radio now has a new lease on life! A lot more flexibility to use the radio now, thanks to the RT Systems USB-61 cable. Regards, Dennis - VE6BGZ

The RT Systems programmers now work with "generic" USB cables. USB cables have become a little more consistent and reliable. Consider this as you decide which cable will be best for you.
Generic USB
Cable
Cables with proper pin spacing for the radio have been around for a long time with varying designs for USB circuitry. Some work well. Some work with varying degrees of success. Some don't work at all. Both circuitry design and wiring could be the issue. If you have a cable that works, it should work with the RT Systems programmer for your radio.
A generic cable may not work on Windows 11.
When using a generic USB cable for programming, you are responsible for finding and installing drivers.
You are responsible for identifying the com port in use by the cable, assigning that in the program and changing it should you use a different cable the next time that assigns to a different com port designation.
RT Systems cannot help you with cable setup... there are just too many cables out there for us to begin to know what you have.
USB-61
While the drivers for this cable will work on Windows 11, I'm not sure the com port routines of these older radios will be compatible. Consider that carefully as you set up your computer to address one of these models. Remember, these radios went away long before Windows 11 was even a "twinkle in someone's eye".
Performance of the programming system is guaranteed only with the RT Systems cable. There are too many variables in cable design for the guarantee to extend to every cable. The system (RT Systems programmer with RT Systems software) works well.
RT Systems programming cables work on Windows 11.
Drivers are installed during installation of the programmer. Sometimes help is needed to complete driver installation: we are here to help with that.
You do not need to know or assign a com port in the program. The programmer finds the cable automatically.
The RT Systems cables are color coded to help you find the right one when your collection of cables becomes a tangled mess.
If there is a problem with communications between the radio and the computer, we are here to help....and we know LOTS of tricks!!
