[WT-support] [SPAM]Re: FT2000

[Bob Purves]

Hi Bob

 

                Just to bring you up to date. I have made up a 5 way lead
and it works great on my old laptop with Windows XP but it does not like the
later PC with Windows Vista at all. Many thanks for all your help. I now am
able to log using my old laptop.

 

Kind regards

Bob,

Maybe you should set FT-2000 menu item 029 GEne CAT RTS to OFF to disable
the RTS port of the CAT jack.

Many thanks for the reply Bob.

 

I think I have found the problem. The lead I am using is only 3 wire, earth,
trans & receive wired straight. Reading the 2000 handbook it has RTS & CTS
etc unlike other Yaesu rigs. I therefore presume I should wire through the
other 2 connections. Someone also said if I strapped together the 2 at the
rig end it would do the same thing. I am getting seemingly conflicting
advice. Can you set me right?

 

Kind regards

It could be a faulty USB to serial converter.



Or, is the FT-2000 in "Memory tune" mode?  Do you see the "MR" or "MT" icon
under FT-2000's frequency display?  If so, press the [V/M] button to restore
VFO mode.

Win-Test reads VFO A, which may not be what you see on the FT-2000 display
if you are in memory tune mode.  See the note at the bottom page 98 in the
manual (attached).

If that's not it, did your press the [Configure...] button next to the COM
port in the Win-Test SETUP menu, then press the [Use FT-2000 default
settings] button?

Also, does Win-Test update VFO B's frequency OK at the top of the Band Map?

I have an FT 2000 and I can click on the band map and it changes the
frequency on the rig but if I change the frequency on the VFO it does not
change on the bandmap. I am using Windows Vista and a USB to Serial
converter make unknown. It has on occasions even crashed the PC. Anyone any
ideas?
