[1000mp] FT1000MP not responding

[Rick Moskovits]

hi joachim, in the ft1000 web site, there are some great software programs including one called mp test. this will allow you to correctly identify the correct com port that the radio is using so the radio will communicate with the software in question. try the mp filters program also after doing the com port test. this will at least identify that the radio is talking to your pc- good luck rick ve1rnm

I tried differend programs and cables, but the CAT Led is not showing any activity. I asume that the MAX232CWE is defective. Any clue where to get one at resonable price ? have not tried to contact Yaesu service yet. Is there any program out there to check the activity on the Com Ports, so i can be shure its the radio and not the pc ? I do not have access to a different pc, maybe on sunday....
