I would think 50ms would be a better setting, 200 seems quite high. One 
problem I ran into with my 450 was the CAT TOT setting. Default is set 
at 100ms, I raised mine to 1000ms and my CAT no longer timed out. That 
may be part of your problem here. Basically the CAT TOT puts the serial 
port to sleep with in-activity. I've never heard of such a thing, but 
I'm not a Yaesu engineer either. Mine works fine with 38400 baud rate.

I wouldn't worry about the 200/201.
