My FTDX5000 has a problem.
The CAT is not working, defective.
I use it in combination with SD.
At a certain moment SD did not receive data from the transceiver.
The green LED on the transceiver was OFF.
At startup SD mentions that there is no link with the tranceiver (no Rig 
control, or a simular message).

Now I have to change BAND and MODE manual.
Yesterday in the PACC contest at a certain moment the SD program also went 
wrong.
I could change the BAND, but after one or two seconds the change ended and SD 
went back to the old BAND.
I tried this a number of times, but with the same result. The band remained 
locked.

Then I checked the parameters under PORTS.
The USB port was still selected.
Now I changed the selection to 0.
And after this I could change BAND and MODE without a problem.

To my opinion there must not be a lock on BAND changing when the communication 
is not functioning.
