Get version 1.66g of MMTTY.  It includes support for the "new"
Yaesu rigs - FT-5000 is the same as (FT-9000, 2000 950 450).

One note about all of the new Yaesu rigs, you will probably need
to change CAT TOT to 1000 ms in the menu.  The default (10 ms)
is too short for most logging/digital software.

AA6YQ has now taken on the continued development of MMTTY.  He updated
is almost a year ago to support additional ports (up to COM16) and add
support for the new Yaesu control protocol.  There are very few current
radios that are not supported in MMTTY version 1.66g.

MMTTY version 1.66g can be downloaded from:
