[Dx4win] FT-1000 Field as 2nd radio

Last night I connect a 1000 Field as a second radio with DX4WIN 6.02.  The
first
radio (TS-850) works fine, but DX4WIN doesn't seem to find the 1000.

I did switch to the 2nd radio.  The CAT portion of the 1000 display turns on
and off;
is it supposed to do that, or should it remain on?  Clearly, the 1000 is
seeing data from
the computer.  After a while, DX4WIN says the radio timed out.

I also replaced every cable between the computer and radio, and tried two
different
serial ports; exactly the same results.  The ports were both from a PCI
4-port
serial card, not standard COM1 nor COM2.  Other ports on the same card do
work
with other software packages, so I'm assuming the serial ports are okay.

Am I missing some setup option in the 1000 or DX4WIN?
