<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I am not sure if they are connected or not in all
honesty Bob. The board that has the transistors and resistors right behind
the DB9 connector is quite small and hard to trace and since this is
working now I am not even going to bother to try to figure it out.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>The 1000D is version 6. I connected a 990 and
it works as well with these same settings. Go figure.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><BR>Well done Bob, but I don't really understand why this would make a
difference. The DTR (DE-9 pin 4) and RTS (DE-9 pin 7) lines are not
connected to the 6 PIN CAT connector, are they? Are they shorted
together?<BR><BR>From the FT-1000(D) Operating Manual:<BR><BR><U>CAT

Operating Manual Errata & Addendum:<BR><BR>"To improve the versatility of

current memory number, <SPAN style="BACKGROUND-COLOR: rgb(255,255,204)">or a
16-byte block of VFO</SPAN> or specified memory parameters has been added to
EPROM Q5003 on the Control Unit, from revision 6.0.<BR><BR>"The installed
EPROM revision number can be non-destructively checked by holding the 1 and 3
keys at the upper corners of the keypad while switching on. The revision
number appears after the display test and manufacturer ID display. If
your revision is below 6.0, contact your Yaesu dealer for availability and
price of the upgrade."<BR><BR>Perhaps Win-Test assumes the FT-1000D is at
EPROM revsion 6.0 or higher, and will not read frequencies accurately if the
radio has the old original EPROM chips.<BR><BR>73,<BR>Bob,
