[Dx4win] DX4WIN Control of Yaesu FTdx101MP Need Help

[Tim moore]

I'm using DX4WIN with no issues with my FTDX 101D. I have the radio file
listed on the Reflector here http://dx4win.ad1c.us/radios/index.html#Yaesu
 by G4IRN. Of course, you have to have the Configuration in *Preferences* in
the  *Radio* tab set to match the radio settings. Whatever you have in the
radio menu for Rate (I'm using 38400), RTS (I have mine set HI or ON), etc,
etc....all the settings have to match. And of course, you have to call out
the correct Comm port you have attached to the radio. If you used a USB
cable, you have to follow the procedure that Yaesu uses to install the
drivers to use USB (copied below). And you have to use the active port that
works, not the one you would use for just doing firmware updates (there are
two virtual ports made once you load the driver software, only ONE of the
ports works for radio control). And you have to follow their instructions
EXACTLY....as to the sequence of when to attach the cable....when to load
the driver...etc.

Here is that info (Copied/edited from another post on the Reflector by
VE3RRH):

Assuming you have NOT tried to load the driver before....and with the RADIO
NOT CONNECTED
go to Yaesu.com and download the driver program for the radio you have (ie
FTDX 101MP)
Install the drivers for the system you have ie 32 or 64 bit
Once the drivers are installed plug the radio into the computer (using your
USB connector), and go to control panel and you should now display two
virtual comports that were added by the driver from Yaesu.
(A good idea now might be to reboot the computer, you can leave the radio
connected.)
One of the ports is mostly for things like upgrading firmware, the other
one....the one you want to use for this purpose, will allow you to fully
communicate (via CAT commands) to the radio via DX4WIN. Make sure THAT port
is the one you config in DX4WIN.

Again, using the latest file on the forum (the G4IRN file listed above) and
matching the configuration in the PREFERENCES >RADIO part of DX4WIN with
the settings in your radio menu (form Rate, RTS, Polling, etc.), you should
be up and running.
