Hal, Was the radio connected to the computer when the lightening strike? You may have lost the cat communications in the radio itself. John de KE5RS I have DXBase2003 and the FT-1000MPMkV and used to have the frequency populated OK. Due to a lightning strike I have a new HP DC7700 computer and cannot get the frequency field to populate. I have read Gary's ( AL9A) reply to KK7X. I have tried all 16 COM port options but only get "HF Radio failed to respond". I thought that entering my rig, FT-1000MP automatically selected the right settings for Parity, Baud rate etc.? I anyone can suggest some tests for the correct COM port or whether the data is being exported from the Tcvr., I would be most grateful. If/when I have got the freqcy. population matter sorted out, then I can see about clearing all the unwanted windows at start up! 73 Hal EA5SX
