[Dx4win] FT-2000 and DX4WIN

[KR4DA]

resending again dx4win didn't like it TEXT only this time


OK here we go again.....

Paul is aware of this and addressing it.


Lee have you tried this ??????

I have asked and asked people to try this that say the FT-2000
Works fine with DX4WIN then when asked to do below ...
it's OH I don't use packet dx spoting.....

Please bring up DX4WIN
1. Set radio in split mode VFO A 14080  VFO B 14100 RTTY mode.
2. In log window click on QSO ( or do a ALT+A) then click ANNOUNCE DX
3. The ANNOUNCE DX window pops up.....
IS the QSX frequency showen as 14100???????????????
IS the WORD RTTY in the REMARKS

2ND test.
Click on a SPOT in the packet window is the MODE set correctly
EVERY TIME.
A click on a CW will not change the SSB to CW a click on RTTY will not 
set RTTY from SSB..
There is a MODE setting issue when clicking on spots.

Then IF it works for you please send me your RIG file that you have
in your DX4WIN called FT9000.
And what option you have set in the rig file  DTR RTS setting
you said 4800 baud so ok on that.... AND what FT-2000 setting OPTION 27 
and 29

Waiting for your answear.. I hope it works
YOU MIGHT HAVE THE FIX.

ANOTHER USERS EXPERIENCE WHO I AM IN TOUCH WITH ALSO.
Jim,
I downloaded the FT-2000 fig file from your website about a week of so 
ago.  In fact, you told me where to go to find it.

This is what I have experienced using it with DX4WIN V7.01.

1.  Attempting to spot a DX station with a split frequency, it never 
reads VFO B when you do a CTRL A.

2.  With the radio in CW mode, and clicking on a RTTY spot, it does not 
change the mode.  Clicking on a SSB spot, it changes the mode.

3.  With the radio in the SSB mode. clicking on a RTTY spot, changes the 
frequency for both VFO A and B, if a split freq is there, but does NOT 
change the mode.
    If the spot is a CW spot, the VFO's are changed but the mode stays 
in SSB.

4.  Radio in RTTY mode, and selecting a CW spot, radio mode stays in 
RTTY.  However if selecting a SSB spot, it will set both VFO's and 
change the mode to SSB.

Like there are two issues,
One is reading VFO B frequency when spotting a station and the radio is 
in "split mode".
The other is that it is not reading a frequency table that tells it what 
mode it should be in for what range of tables.

I know some logging programs let you set what range of frequencies are 
for SSB, RTTY or PSK and what for CW.  Don't know if DX4WIN has such a 
table but I do know that everything worked FB with my 1000MP and does 
not with my FT-2000.

Would appreciate hearing what you think and what we can do to get a 
better rig file fot the FT-2000.

Thanks

Reno Tonsi, WT8C
