Hi Robert
Have you tried the -DEBUG switch to enable COM I/O debug files ? This
generates files of what is sent /received to from each radio.
Also I recently had to a similar problem both with dos and widows not
seeing the com ports 3&4 , after adding another LPT port card, I removed
all the add in cards cleaned the edge contacts and reseated cards and all
came back ok.

Subject: [ct-user] FT1000MP radio control problem
Hi Guys,
Weird problem just developed with BOTH FT1000MP's.
I am using 2 FT1000MP's on 2 computers with CT ver 9.53. When I used this
setup in WPXCW, CT, BOTH radios and both computers talked to each other
flawlessly.
Now, six weeks later, the same 2 FT1000MP's can't talk to the computers.
BOTH radios give me a "radio timeout" message. For control purposes, I went
back into the WPXCW logs with NO settings changed. What worked perfectly 6
six weeks ago, does not work now. Nothing in the setup has changed nor have
any cables been moved.
The radios can talk to each other using the Alt G ("Gab") function, but
whenever I try to change freq. using the keyboard I get the "radio timeout"
message. Likewise, when I change bands with the radio, the computer does
not note the freq. change.
Several weeks ago I was banging something on the operating table and I
wondered whether or not this might have affected the 'MP's - but there
appear to be no ill effects other than the radios/computers can't talk with
each other.
Any thoughts on what the problem might be and how to diagnose it?
If one radio didn't talk to the computer I might think it was a damaged
radio/computer interface, but BOTH radios?
Your help and thoughts please.
Tnx & 73
