Hello Tom, Did you ever tried to use two different functions on the same port? Have a USB to serial to control the FT1000mp, it works fine. Tried to PTT via the same port, but no avail. ( Probably missing some dedicated software to interface.both functions ) Using a USB to // for PTT and thats OK too.
