Hello All: With the help of Jim AD1C, Paul VE7BZ, Lou N2TU and John ZL1ALZ, the problem was solved. FYI, here is what I did and the settings I used.
To start, note that I have an FT-2000(PEP); it was a great experience downloading the PEP software and the radio worked splendidly without any problems after I did the download. If you have not done it, I recommend it. It does change the numbers on some of the menu items from what was in the original FT-2000 manual, but that is a minor problem. On the advice of Jim, AD1C, I went http://dx4win.ad1c.us/data.htm#Rig and downloaded the Rig File called FT-2000 V8i. I copied it into the DX4WIN radio folder with DX4WIN closed. Then I opened DX4WIN and went to <Preferences> and selected <Radio>. The settings that worked for me are: Type = yaesuFT2000-V8i. Address 00, with Default checked. Baudrate 9600, with Default unchecked. Com Port 7 (I use a USB port and hub from my laptop as it does not have a serial port) Poll rate 5000. Max tries 5. DTR Low (unchecked) RTS High (checked) I then had to check the Baud rate in the FT-2000 and set it to 9600 (Menu 028) and ensure that RTS was ON (Menu 30). Works a treat. Of course, then I had to go to N1MM Logger, which I use in contests, and set the baud rate to 9600. One thing always leads to another! Hi. My thanks to all who helped me. I hope that this info will be of use to others. 73, Jim, VE3IQ Jim Dean, VE3IQ 1134 Plante Drive Ottawa, ON, Canada, K1V 9E8 Tel: (613) 733-5585 Fax: (613) 733-7613 E-mail: [email protected] ______________________________________________________________ Dx4win mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/dx4win Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:[email protected] This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html
