with bandmap properties and the bandplan. But this morning it was back to<br>the same old thing......clicking on a spot sent the radio to LSB. In the<br>bandplan it is set to only 160 CW 1800.0-1999.9.<br>What I have found to be working correctly this morning is selecting FT1000.<br>
This works but the vfo's are not being read so there is no tracking in the<br>bandmap. I had to change one setting on the FT1000 default. RTS Pin 7 set<br>to "always on" brought things to life. I seem to be able to click on<br>
bandmap data and the radio does exactly what it is supposed to do....stay on<br>CW and go to the spot frequency.<br><br>Bob NX5M<br><br>----- Original Message -----<br>From: "Robert Pack" <<a href="mailto:nx5m@txcyber.com">nx5m@txcyber.com</a>><br>
