Has anyone been successful in fully controlling the Yaesu FT-100 with CT?
The closest I can come to doing so is with a (com1) tsr of
comtsr1 -p1 -b4800 -n82 and selecting FT-1000 as the radio. Actually it
doesn't seem to care if I use n81 or n82 (that's surprising) but it
definitely wants the radio to be FT-1000 and not the FT-1000MP. When I
select FT-1000MP the bands are wrong and the operation is erratic. I tried
other Yaesu radios in the CT list to no avail. When I select FT-1000 I can
correctly switch bands from the computer to the radio but not from the radio
to the computer. Nor does Ctrl F1/F2 have any effect on the mode. I'm
thinking the "band information" pigtail cable from the FT-100 is not a true
RS-232 port and only has one-way (band) information available. The
instruction manual shows it as a band information cable for a Yaesu linear
amplifier. Perhaps band switching from the computer to the radio is all I'm
going to get (that's the important part so I can live with it) but, if
anyone has figured out more, I'd appreciate hearing about it.
Sorry for the bandwidth if this has been answered in the past but I don't
remember seeing it. Thanks in advance for any advice given.
