[WT-support] CAT FT-857D

[ulf schneider]

hi folks ...

used win-test in german V/UHF contest last weekend .. worked perfect 
(except CAT), i love that locator-map with all spotted qso's. i have 
tried several contest-logs for V/UHF contest during the last 10 years 
and i must say: win-test is even on V/U/SHF the best one ..

one bug (?): version 2.28 has problems with yaesu FT-857D CAT interface 
(or the FT-857D with WT?) .. the radio understands all commands from 
win-test .. but win-test does not recognize any actions on the radio 
(band change, QSY, mode change etc) ..
config in WT --> 38400 bps, 8N2
config in FT-857D menu --> interface: CAT, CAT rate: 38400 bps
(no changes with 9600 bps, 4800 bps on both sides) ... switched COM port 
in winXP to 38400 8N2, no flow control .. nothing changed.
any hints?

one question: is it possible to add a "transverter offset" for the CAT 
interface?? the reason is the following:
i use a hf radio with transverter for VHF/UHF/SHF.. dx-cluster says "dx 
on 1296.250" .. the IF is 28 MHz for example .. if i want the radio to 
switch on that QRG with a double-click nothing happens of course ... so 
it would be perfect if i can add an offset of 1268 MHz (1296 - 28 = 
1268) so that my radio can understand what i want ;-)
