Re: [Dx4win] FT-950 with DX4WIN
John, Yes I have the FT950 working with DX4WIN. Here is my setup. Defaults are checked, address 00 and baud 4800. I have poll rate set for 2000; RTS and DTR unchecked. On the radio CAT BPS 4800, CAT TOT 3000, CAT RTS off. I am using a standard USB to COM adapter on comm port 5 with a simple gender changer to plug into the rig. Once you get that working you will need the RIG file that I modified. The one that comes with DX4WIN has some timing problems that may cause some computers to hang the program at times. I can send a copy of my modified RIG file direct to you if you want. Ernie W8EH On 5/4/2012 12:27 AM, W9RPM wrote: Anyone have a 950 that they have working with DX4WIN?

[Dx4win] DX4WIN Default packet cluster settings
Gentlemen, Is there a way to have the packet cluster start at a default log on to my favored cluster? It would be nice feature if it came back to the same one you were on when it was shut down. I use primarily only one cluster over and over so a default setting would be extremely beneficial. Having to go through the log on motions each time is a pain. 73 Jon-NQ4A __ DX4WIN mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/dx4win Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:DX4WIN@mailman.qth.net This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html
Re: [Dx4win] DX4WIN Default packet cluster settings
It already does that, the last node you connected to is at the top of the list when you restart. Three ENTER keystrokes starting in the Packet Window is enough to get connected. There is no auto-connect. If you use the Updater, and don't have a list of cluster nodes you always want at the top, then your node-of-choice will be reset to where it used to be. Read the documentation on the updater to see how to do this.

Re: [Dx4win] FT-950 with DX4WIN
I have also used the 950 with the same settings as described below. There was a hang problem with XP, but, moving to Win 7 seems to have solved that.

Re: [Dx4win] FT-950 with DX4WIN
Hi Bill, I have uploaded my modified FT-950 rig file and placed it on one of my web pages in case others want it. This is the first time that I have used Google pages for downloading so I am not sure that it will work. Go to: https://sites.google.com/site/erniehjr/home/dx4win Then let me know if you get the file OK.
