[Dx4win] BUG or My Error?

[ON4AOI]

Jim,

This is not a bug 100% sure of it and 
the FT5000.rig file is also correct (We made it with my ftdx5000 radios) 
but for the moment the current DX4WIN version can not handle
the letter A,B,C (C = PKTUSB) for MODE selection only numbers work
like 8=PKTLSB.
This will be only possible with a future release

Because there may be a bug in DX4WIN.  As I said, each Yaesu radio has its
own protocol.  Unless someone can give/loan Paul an FT-5000 to develop with,
or debug interactively with him in front of your own radio, what he
implements in DX4WIN will just be a best guess (i.e.
untested).  If you've ever read any of the radio protocol specs, it's NOT
straightforward to implement them in software.
