Nope, the 847 is the redheaded step-child of all rigs when it comes to CAT. It has a standard RS232 port for CAT. No level converters needed
It's actually a 3 wire serial port, so you need to make sure stuff like hardware flow control is off.
2M0SIL, I would suggest a 9pin-9pin RS232 Null MODEM cable, and then into your RS232-USB converter (most USB-RS232 converters are wired as DTE rather than DCE)

PS, remember...two Null MODEM devices (cable *OR* box *OR* USB<->RS232 wired that way) make a MODEM (ie straight through) cable...A trick I've used many a time
