[Yaesu] CAT FT990/FT1000 Problem: Clarifier Tuning

[Bill Coleman]

You might try the N1MM LOGGER software here: http://pages.cthome.net/n1mm/

It will go up/down with the up/down arrow keys (100hz in SSB, 20hz in CW),
RIT/XIT and filters can be toggled with the mouse. Works great with my
ahhhh....  errr..... Kenwood (sorry).   Have not used it with any FT rig but
many are supported.

Other points: it's free, it's Windoze based, supports Packet or Telnet DX
cluster access

TRY IT!
