[Dx4win] FT-1000 Connection Problems

[Mel Roberts]

WB1EUL asked:
Two questions 1. I am trying to connect my PC with DX4WIN to my FT1000D and 
can not get the radio connection to work. I keep getting timeouts. Perhaps 
the radio has an older eeprom. How do I check out the eeprom version. And 
what is the trick for connection?
A.  Try setting the FT-1000 address to 62.  When I set the system up, the 
default FT-1000 address was 00.  Seems to have changed something from older 
version of DX4WIN.  Drove me nuts until found the address was incorrectly 
set in the default.
Second question. I also made up a serial CW cable and can not get that to 
work either./ Help
A.  Might work after the address is set.
