Try setting CAT RTS (Menu 05-08) to DISABLE.  If for some reason
WriteLog is not setting RTS on the CAT port to HIGH (ON), the
newer Yaesu radios (since FTdx9000 and FT-2000) will not send
CAT data to the computer with their default configuration.

You may also want to set 05-07 CAT TOT to 100 or 1000 ms depending
on how many parameters the logging program requests at one time.

Is it possible you have the dial "locked" on the rig itself?  Unlock it, if it 
is.

I had that happen to me before.

I am having some trouble setting up the rig control for a FT-891 using Writelog 
12.59F.

I selected FT-991 from the Rig Type and the enhanced port on my laptop which is 
Com7, baud rate 19200 that matches the radio menu setting, poll checked and 
Comm PTT NO.

I can enter a frequency in the QSO entry window and it will move the radio to 
that frequency and display the frenquency properly.  But turning the VFO know 
does not have any effect on the displayed frequency.

Anybody, have any suggestion for this?
