Hi all, If anybody knows the FT-1000 MP Mark V computer interface pretty well inside-out-and-backwards I have a major problem that I don't know where to turn for assistance.
Essentially, if I any logger (DX Base, N1MM or anything else) sets up a 40 SSB split with a value below 7100 on VFO-A (even if VFO-B is set to transmit and is on a legal frequency), the radio will go into TX mode but will not generate an SSB signal (LSB or USB). It WILL generate AM (and FM, into my dummy load at QRPp testing levels). If I remove computer control and shut down and re-start the radio, and set a split manually, it works fine. If the logger sends a simplex frequency to VFO-A (above 7100) it works fine. If the logger sends a split with both halves above 7100 it works fine. Click a spot below 7100 with a QSX anywhere, no transmit. I suspect this is an FT-1000 problem, but I really don't know where to turn for assistance. This has also been posted to the Yahoo group for the FT-1000 but I generally don't find the braintrust there to be very knowledgeable above and beyond the basics and "I love my radio" posts, etc. Any suggestions on what may be causing this, or conversely, any suggestions on a 'Net resource to solve this? This is a recent problem, too, maybe in the last 2 or 3 months it's manifested itself. Last time I seriously needed split on 40 was in WPX in March and it was fine then. Thanks in advance. Cheers, Peter, W2IRT
