[Dx4win] YAESU FTDX9000 and Also FT2000 cat problems

[Toby & Ira Stoler]

Hello Guy and everyone,

I received my FT2000 from Texas Towers yesterday.  I was their number 2 
FT2000 sold.

I have tried using FT9K driver in DX4WIN 7.02 and it does follow the 
radio band changes and successfully read frequency into qso record.  It 
does not follow when I click on packet spots.

I am also using Writelog version 10.59D, also using FT9K driver.  WL 
seems to work properly both in reading frequency and mode from radio as 
well as setting VFO A and B when the spot specifies a split frequency 
and only VFO A for simplex spots.

I am also using MicroHam Microkeyer USB interface with their version 
3.1.4 router and it is properly sensing FT2000 frequency using settings 
for FT9K.

I hope this is useful information.

73,

Ira K2RD
