[WT-support] FTDX5000

[Don Beattie]

Bob, I've had my Ft5000's working fine with Win-Test for some months using this approach and the FT9000 rig option. The key thing is the CAT RTS disable !

  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

    Anyone using Win-Test successfully for CAT control of an FTDX 5000?  If so,
    would appreciate settings.

    Thanks
