[1000mp] computer control problem

Have you checked that the radio is not in the MEM mode?  If the radio
probably is in MemTune mode use the VFO/MEM switch to get out of it.

mostly correctly.  I use CT contest software.  If I send the command to
change to a new frequency, like 7005, the radio changes correctly.   But if
I try to change bands via CT, it switches between 10 and 160m using the band
up/down command (alt-F1, alt-f2).   On the receive side I can not read the
current frequency (alt-J).  It appears to say 28013.7 all the time.   Is
this likely to be the chip that makes the RS-232 port work?
