Hi, I'd like to know if the FT1000MP Mark V or Field owners have the same problem as identified in FT1000MP:
Pushbutton band change follows correctly the user preselected ANT A/B per each band, but the CAT interface does not support it (same with any logging program, not only DX4WIN). Wonder if Yaesu has taken care of this issue in the current new generations of FT1000MP variants. Below is the message sent by Paul to Yaesu back in 1998, which seems never received any response from them. 73, Radi F6GNZ -----Original Message----- From: Paul van der Eijk [COMPUSERVE:INTERNET:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, January 19, 1998 5:06 PM To: [unknown] Subject: [Dx4Win] Yaesu FT-1000MP Reply-To: Paul van der Eijk <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Hi, I was about to send this to Yaesu, but I wonder if anyone on 'OUR' reflector has any insight. Meanwhile, be aware of this problem! Dear Madam / Sir, I'm the author of DX4WIN, a Windows logging program which supports many of your radios. Some of our users encountered the following problem with the FT-1000MP: The users sets all bands for Antenna1 except for the 160M band which uses Antenna2. When the radio is using Antenna1 and my program sets a new frequency in the 160M band, the radio will not switch to Antenna2 automatically. This can lead to a substantial impedance mismatch, resulting in damaged equipment etc if the user does notice this in time. So I wonder if there is a way that the radio selects the correct antenna when setting a new frequency programmatically. Hopefully this can be accomplished with a setting on the radio rather then programming very specific code for this model. Looking forward to your reply, 73 de Paul, KK4HD
