Understand. That means it is not working. The Band Map should be showing the
frequencies of the rig for the band it is set on such as 7025 (Not 0).
You have the ability to enter a frequency in the Entry window and the rig will
go to it. However, it is not tracking the frequency of the VFO. So, any
contacts you make and enter into the log it most likely may not be recording
the frequency of the contact.
Just for the test of it, see if it enters the frequency in the log. Just go
up and down the band and enter a few test contacts. See what it does in the
log.
**** Is it possible that Writelog simply does not support the Yaesu FT891 ?
I see that in the listing of Rig Types there is the Yaesu FT991 (which you say
you set it up for) but not Yaesu FT891.

The Band Map displayed in a vertical column only shows 0 in the center and
-numbers (i.e. -5, -10, -15 etc) to the top and positive numbers to the bottom
and the hash marks.

Jim:
Bring up the Band Map. Right click in the Entry window and bring it up. Just
the Band Map only and not Band Map on 2nd VFO
Let us know if the Band Map frequency display changes as you dial the VFO. In
other words, does it track the frequency up and down as you dial it.

Yes, typing the frequency in the call entry will change and actually display it
properly, but it will not change when I tune the VFO... and I can enter
another frequency this way and it will change in the WL displayed.
Joe/K4TV, I do have the radio in VFO mode as indicated by the A on the display.

Can you type in
7000 in the call entry field, hit enter and the radio frequency changes to
7000??
If not, the link isn't working
If yes, ....hummm

No sir! I don't think it is, because I can spin the dial and the frequency
changes on the radio but not WL. Actually, it is fully functional with another
logging program.

Is it possible you have the dial "locked" on the rig itself? Unlock it, if it
is.
I had that happen to me before.

I am having some trouble setting up the rig control for a FT-891 using Writelog
12.59F.
I selected FT-991 from the Rig Type and the enhanced port on my laptop which is
Com7, baud rate 19200 that matches the radio menu setting, poll checked and
Comm PTT NO.
I can enter a frequency in the QSO entry window and it will move the radio to
that frequency and display the frenquency properly. But turning the VFO know
does not have any effect on the displayed frequency.
Anybody, have any suggestion for this?
