[Dx4win] support for the new Kenwood TS-990

[Lou Dietrich]

Paul,

As I mentioned in my emails, A> B is available for the FT3K....

I will have a FT3000 borrowed from the Yaesu hamfest show stock and it 
will be in my shack today/ tomorrow and I will beta any new rig file or 
code change you come up with....

Additionally, this 'problem' of VFO B not being set properly may also be 
in the FT950/ 450 rig file as well...as the FT950/ 450 CAT MD command 
has the first digit fixed at(0) ...zero....so a MD10 isn't valid for the 
FT950....or the FT450...

 From the DX4WIN FT950 and FT450 rig file:

[RC-Set Mode B]
CSTR=MD10;

Unless you have incorporated something into your code which is a work 
around for the FT950/ 450, setting the VFO B mode may not work there. I 
do not have a FT950/ 450 to test this...

Yaesu's commands have been mostly standardized since the FT9000 PEP, 
except for such nuances radios with either one or two receivers.

As I mentioned in my previous emails, you write and I'll test it!

73/ Regards...

Lou N2TU
