[WT-support] FT1000 Frequency problem

Ofcourse Pete, CAT interface hardware is the same, communication protocol also .... but FT990 doesnt have dual VFO system. No second RX or dual receive capability.

  Hi,

  About a week ago I described a problem using Win-Test 3.7.0 with my
  Yaesu FT1000.  Win-Test does not log the correct frequency of a worked
  station nor does it place it at the right frequency in the Band Map even
  though the actual frequency of the radio is correctly shown at the top
  of the Band Map.

  I have some additional information that may help in figuring out what the
  problem could be.  I downloaded an older version of Win-Test (2.32.1)
  from the Website and installed it into a separate directory.   With
  Win-Test 2.32.1 everything works as expected.  The correct frequencies
  are logged and the calls appear in the right places in the Band Map.

  In addition when again using version 3.7.0, I found that Win-Test does not
  recognize that the FT1000 has been put into "split" mode.  As an experiment 
  I also tried to see what happened when I set up the radio as an FT990 in the
  configuration menu.   I think the CAT interface for the FT990 is similar to that
  of the 1000.  To my surprise frequencies were now all logged correctly and
  calls were listed properly in the Band Map.  The only problem that remained 
  was that the second VFO's frequency was not read at all.

  I hope this provides some further clues as to what is going on.
