[WT-support] Template for FT-890

[Bob Wilson, N6TV]

Try using radio type FT-900.  According to this
post<http://groups.yahoo.com/group/dxatlas_group/message/128>by WR0DK
(now K0TI), "they are basically the same radio."  See also this
post <http://groups.yahoo.com/group/dxatlas_group/message/103> by OmniRig
author VE3NEA.  Apparently online documentation for the FT-890 is hard to
find.

If you have the FT-890 manual in hard copy, compare the CAT command set to
the FT-900.  You (or a someone who knows how to edit OmniRig .ini files)
should be able to figure out how to make the FT-890 work with
OmniRig<http://www.dxatlas.com/OmniRig>.
I'd start with the
FT-900.ini<http://www.dxatlas.com/OmniRig/Files/RigIni.zip>file and
modify it.  Once you get the FT-890 working with OmniRig, it should
work fine with Win-Test by setting radio type to OmniRig in the Win-Test
Interfaces Configuration screen.

Please let us know what works so that we can add the info. to the Win-Test
docs.  Obviously no one on the development team has easy access to an FT-890
or even its documentation, so it's not very easy for them to add support for
it right now.
