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
