[WT-support] EZMaster with FT1000D problem

I have made some tests with my EZMaster and an FT1000D radio simulator 
this morning (I don't own this radio so I use a software which acts as a 
real FT1000D radio simulating its protocol).

I can connect my simulator on either the RS232 or COM port of the 
EZMaster. I don't have the wiring for testing with RADIO A and RADIO B 
ports.

With both RS232 and COM ports, the frequency polling is working 100%. If 
I change the frequency on the simulator, WT well displays it in the 
Radio window. Entering a frequency in the callsign field is also working 
as expected.

My conclusion is that everything is working fine with both RS232 and COM 
ports through my EZMaster (at least on the software side). You should 
try to connect an FT1000D interface on either the RS232 or the port to 
check if you have the same successful result.

I have tested with EZM firmware 1.37. BTW, a friend of mine experienced 
strange results with the firmware he got with his brand new EZM. He 
downgraded to firmware v1.33 then installed again v1.37 and everything 
was working fine that way! That should be an interesting things to try 
on your side!

Best 73,
