I am trying to establish rig control for a newly acquired FT-990. Purchased a
G4ZLP interface cable and plugged it into a COM 1 serial port.
I can type a freq in the command line of N1MM and make the FT-990 change freq
but the software will not read the rig freq or mode when
tuning................in otherwords it looks like I can send to the rig a
command but it is not sending back it's freq or mode info. Tuning does not
result in updating.
Have setup the COM 1 serial port for 4800, 8, N , 2 , RTS/DTR Always On. On
my FT1000MP I am using a microKeyer which has established a bunch of virtual
serial ports starting at COM 3. My desk top has two regular serial ports COM 1
and COM 2.
The FT-990 has Version 1.3 firmware and I have done hard reset of the rig by
following the instructions in the manual.
Anyone have any clues as to where to look??
