[UK-CONTEST] [microHAM] microKEYER II - router - FT1000MP-WinTest - WinKey problems

Mon Mar 9 01:36:45 PDT 2009

I'm not familiar with the FT1000MP, but I would have thought that after 
pressing the VFO/MEM button to get into VFO mode, that MTUNE would mean 
memory tuning, why else would the Ports tab of the router show 'a frequency 
of 18130 and a mode of USB'?
Glad you got it sorted Alan. 73
