Olivier,

Thank you for looking into it.  Based on what you found, I don't think any
program can move the FT-1000MP to CW/LSB, *unless* the rig toggles back and
forth between CW/USB and CW/LSB every time you command it to switch to CW
mode.  That's how you do it on the front panel button:  you just keep
pressing CW until it says CW/LSB.  But I doubt this is something you can
simulate via the CAT interface.

Maybe some radio hardware guru can find a place to swap two wires inside the
MP so that it always goes to CW/L instead of CW/U. :-)

73,
