Hi Mike,

ok, I now see what you meant. Besides this, I've tried various combinations
without success.

I've downloaded the n1mm logger that also implements a radio interface for
ft990/ft1000 but I couldn't get this to work properly. It keept on requesting
update packets. The idea was to see if n1mm is capable of tuning the clarifier
and sniff the packets it sends to get an idea what is going on with this 
interface.

Has anyone else tried using this package with a FT990/FT1000? If so, it
would be nice if someone could log the command packets that are send to
the radio via the serial interface when tuning the clarifer offset.
