[WT-support] FTDX5000

[Bob Wilson, N6TV]

F5VHJ (ex. WR6R) got his FTDX5000 to work once he threw away his Prolific
USB-to-Serial converter and replaced it with one based on the FTDI chipset.

Select radio type FTDX-9000.

Also check the FT-5000 menu settings:

032 CAT RATE:  4800
033 CAT TIME OUT TIMER:  1000 ms?  Not sure what would be best choice here
034 CAT RTS:   Disable   <<<< Very important, especially when using
USB-to-Serial adapter
035 CAT DATA IND:  Enable

In particular you may need to set CAT RTS to DISABLE if you want to use the
Win-Test default settings for an FTDX-9000 (4800, N, 8, 2, Always OFF,
Always OFF).

Please let us know if this works and we'll update the Wiki page.

73,
Bob, N6TV
