See this thread<http://lists.f5mzn.org/pipermail/support/2008-June/075893.html>from
3 years ago.  Apparently the FT-100D CAT control does not work as
documented, so lots of software doesn't work right with it.

You could try installing Omni-Rig by
VE3NEA<http://www.dxatlas.com/OmniRig/Files/OmniRig.zip>,
including the latest INI file
updates<http://www.dxatlas.com/OmniRig/Files/RigIni.zip>,
then change the Radio type in Win-Test Interface Configuration from FT-100
to OmniRig (and you must *uncheck* the COM port since OmniRig will use it).

Please let us know if using OmniRig fixes the problem.

Finally, if you are using a USB-to-Serial adapter instead of a real serial
port, make sure to use one based on the FTDI chipset rather than anything
based the Prolific chipset.
