[WT-support] [SPAM]Re: FT2000

[Bob Purves]

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?
