The SCU-17 interface unit may be used for CAT control of the transceiver with
a computer via a USB connection; and for communications using SSTV, RTTY
and PSK digital modes.
Note: YAESU does not produce CAT, SSTV, RTTY and PSK System operating
software, due to the wide variety of personal computers, operating systems, and applications in use today.
The SCU-17 provides CAT communication through the USB terminal when a
PC does not have an RS-232C connection.
The SCU-17 is equipped with a USB audio system device, so the TX and RX
audio system signals are accessible to the SCU-17 through the USB cable.
Therefore, the supplied USB cable is the only connection needed between
the SCU-17 and PC.
The SCU-17 is equipped with a two-channel USB serial device and enables
the various transmission modes and the CAT communication simultaneously.
The SCU-17 operates from the USB bus power; you do not need to prepare
an external power supply.
For RF isolation, the SCU-17 is designed with photo relays for the PTT/FSK
terminals. AF transformers are used in the AUDIO IN/OUT lines to provide
excellent ground isolation.
The SCU-17 is equipped with the TX and RX audio controls on the front pan-
el, for convenient level adjustment.
LED indicators on the SCU-17 front panel monitor the PTT and FSK control.
The operating conditions may be quickly conrmed.

Virtual COM port driver Installation
Install the virtual COM port driver on the personal computer before using the
SCU-17 USB interface unit.
Please see the USB Driver (Virtual COM Port Driver) on the Yaesu Website for
details (http://www.yaesu.com/).
Note: Do not connect the USB cable and SCU-17 to your personal computer
until after the “virtual COM port driver” installation is completed, because
an incorrect driver may be installed.
For assistance with the software port conguration, refer to “How to Conrm
the Installation, and the COM Port Number” in the “Virtual COM port Driver
Installation Manual”.
For information on port conguration for commercial and free computer soft-
ware, refer to the manual for the software being used.
When using the USB cable to supply TX and RX audio signals, set the
Sound Card (input and output) settings to “USB Audio CODEC”.
When using the USB cable for computer TX control, the transceiver may
switch to transmit mode when the computer is started, etc.
YAESU does not provide technical support for the use or operation of com-
mercial or free computer software.
