All;
Just to let everyone know I DID finally get this going. Thanks especially
to W4TV and ZL1ALZ for their assistance. I had two problems. When trying
to use a 3 wire cable (that I had used with my MarkV), I did not have the
CTS disabled in Writelog (even though it WAS disabled in the FT2000). AS
W4TV explained, I needed Writelog 10.70 or greater to be able to disable it.
(I have 10.69D).
So I went back to the 9 wire cable, re-enabled CTS in the FT2000D, and it
still did not work no matter what I did. Although the cable was a brand
new out of the box serial cable, I began to suspect that it was bad. So I
did a continuity check and, sure enough, about half of the 9 pins were open.
I ended up making up my own 5 wire cable and it took right off.
See you in the pileups.

This may not be a Writelog problem but I thought I would start here. I
received a brand new FT2000D this week and just can't seem to get the CAT
control to work with Writelog. I've used it with the my previous FT1000D and
FT1000 Mark V with no problem.
There is my setup:
Com Port is set to 4800, n, 8, 2
In Writelog, Port selection is set for FT2000, 4800, poll checked, Com PTT
= YES
Cable is a 9 pin serial cable with pins 2,3, and 5 connected straight
thru. This same cable worked fine on my FT1000 Mark V.
In the FT2000D, Menu Setting 28 is set to 4800, Menu setting 29 set to
100, Menu Setting 30 is set to On(but I have tried off here also). Menu
Setting 31 is set to On.
A note with the FT2000D says it includes the latest PEP 2000 Software.
Serial Number is 7M270409
Any ideas what I may be missing?
