Thanks a lot.. I will take a look at that one the web.. The ------ one we have has some desirable features but if it won't do what it is supposed to it is sort of a waste. I just can't figure out why it won't change freqs. Has to be a hardware issue, wiring issue or procedure I suppose. - M

Thanks& > >- Mike While I haven't tried it, I did some research a while back & concluded that the LinkComm RLC-2a & RLC-3 will control an FT-100D. Taking a quick look at the FT-900 CAT format (supported by both controllers), it appears similar to the FT-100D.
