[Dx4win] dx4win and FT5000

[on4iq]

I'll give an extra lead,

even on RX this happens. in the dxwin 8.04 and 8.05 (yes i installed 8.05 with the latest rig files)


Let me explain:

the mode it changes to, its dictated by the packet dxcluster spot that enters. Occasionally even the BAND in the main dx4win screen changes shortly to the spot (frequency) that arrives, most annoying feature..


RIG in SSB -> dx4win mode stays OK, but freq in Freq box jumps all over the place, Band stays OK
Rig in CW /RTTY/PACKET/AM/FM -> dx4win mode  jumps to mode in last dxspot, Freq box jumps all over the place, Band stays OK

Bummer if you run a cw pile and want to log, 50% chance you get the wrong mode when entering a qso..

  First tell us what RIGFILE you use ? probably an old one for the ft2000 or ft9000, 

  In dx4w805 is a new rigdriver for the FT5000, dated 2 januari 2011 so why stay on dx4w804 ?

  I recently connected the FT5000 to the PC with dx4win as logging software.

   

  Following strange behaviour has been noticed:

   

  When operating in CW (any band) the logging software reads the mode as ssb, or psk31 when the rig is in TX.

  I doubt that it is a RFI problem as it occurs on any band, any power level. even with only the ptt closed (that is 0 watts out)

  All the rs232 are shielded.

   

  The freq (khz) in the main dx4win , disappears aswell

  Occassionally the is 0.00 in it, giving an error when logging.

   

  Has anyone similar observations?
