[Dx4win] rig control

[ON4AOI]

Hi John and others,
I am working on a FTDX3000 rigfile now
But don´t know yet if it will work ok

The following modes will not work like they aren´t in the ftdx5000 rigfile
PKT-FM = A, FM-N = B, PKT-U = C and AM-N = D simply because ABCD etc are not
recognized yet for modes in DX4WIN,

But now comes the worst part the MODE command 
Cat manual page 12 shows
P1 0: main (VFO-A)
P1:1: sub (VFO-B)


FTDX5000 cmd = MD0; = in this case reads mode from VFO-A
FTDX5000 cmd = MD1; = in this case reads mode from VFO-B

For setting the modes on FTDX5000 its something similar

FTDX5000 cmd = MD01; = in this case sets mode from VFO-A to LSB  
FTDX5000 cmd = MD11; = in this case sets mode from VFO-B to LSB

First number is for the VFO selection and second number(or letter not yet
supported by dx4win) for the mode.

Page 11 from the FTDX 3000 CAT manual shows now a BIG PROBLEM
P1 = 0:fixed 

So until I find a proper cmd for setting VFO-B to the correct mode it will
not work

Or it’s a bug in there firmware or they simply forgot it to add in the
manual
I know some bugs in the ftdx5000 firmware but they don´t care about users
reporting this

Test my ftdx5000.rigfile and if its working OK then its only a bad manual 
If not there is bigger problem that I can´t solve if I don´t find a cmd


Lurking further in the CAT cmd

Been trying the 3000 with DX4WIN using the FT950 Rig file. Other than being
slow, I notice that when in either SSB or RTTY and Clicking on a spot from
the DX spot window, the rig will go to the correct Frequency, but will not
put VFO B in the correct mode. Always goes to CW. I am not one to be able to
play with the Rig Files, but hope that Paul or someone can get a Rig File
for the 3000. Thanks, John W9RPM
