An intermediate observation on CAT functionality for the FTDX9000D, firware 3.24, with the logging software DX4WIN:
Testing with software Free-Serial-Port-Monitor: DX4WIN uses multiple commands when you click on a spot in the DXcluster window. Typically a spot with QSX (=split) information the commands are seen to be: RC;FT1;FR0;MD02; FA14192000;MD12; FB14225000;FT; RC= Set RX Clarifier Offset Clear FT1= Set Sub Band (VFO-B) Transmitter:TX FR0= Set Mani Band (VFO-A) Reciever:RX MD02= Set Operatin Mode Main Band (VFO-A), mode USB FA= Set Main Band (VFO-A) frequency to 14192000 Hz MD12= Set Operating Mode Sub-Band (VFO-B), mode USB FB= Set Sub Band (VFO-B) frequency to 14225000 Hz FT= Read transmitter status I have tried to reduce the DELAY (260ms) in the rigfile but with all this data there are still some problems for the QSX commands at reduced DELAY times. Simple commands such as clicking on a DX-cluster spot only for setting the frequency seems to accept a much shorter DELAY, say 15ms. Baudrate in this test is 9600. With 38400 there are some hick-ups because in some QRX instances it looks as DX4WIN is sending the wrong Sub-band frequency. The conclusion as of now is to use the rigfile FTDX9000v31 with the original delay setting and 9600 baud. Above QSX takes abot 2,5 seconds to execute when the radio is changing from a different band. Out if this the combined DELAY is abt. 2000ms in total. 73 de Erik, SM0JCA From [EMAIL PROTECTED] Wed Jun 6 16:46:27 2007 From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] (Jim Reisert AD1C) Date: Wed Jun 6 16:50:06 2007 Subject: [Dx4win] Adding a new country to database In-Reply-To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Message-ID: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> --- [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: > I don't need all these bells and whistles for my DX logging and am > totally baffled by the instructions for installing new CTY updates so > have always before been able to do it the hard way/manually one at a time > as they come into being. Hi Bud, It's actually not that hard: - shut down DX4WIN - download the latest country file from http://dx4win.ad1c.us - rename (save) your existing country file somewhere else - extract DX4WIN.CTY from the ZIP archive and save it in your DX4W503\SAVE directory 73 - Jim AD1C -- Jim Reisert AD1C/0, <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>, http://www.ad1c.us From [EMAIL PROTECTED] Wed Jun 6 18:44:15 2007 From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] (Duane A Calvin) Date: Wed Jun 6 18:49:08 2007 Subject: [Dx4win] 7.03 and spots window Message-ID: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> I just moved to version 7.03, and, after fighting the usual items that are not picked up when the .INI file is saved and merged (sure wish Paul would fix that), I find taht the DX Spots window does not receive any spots at all.

BS7H was the last one I needed to "work 'em all," and I'm really excited about getting the card, so I thought I'd ask. Thanks, in advance, Karl, K1KO Virginia Beach, VA
