I thought you might like to know what the fix was that allowed me to successfully connect my FT-2000 to DX4WIN v8.02. In addition to the list members that responded to my query, I also received help from Paul - the DX4WIN author. The fix (for me) boiled down to turning ON the DTR and RTS options in DX4WIN, ensuring the default baud rate was not checked and increasing the baud rate to 9600. In addition, radio menu items 28, 29 and 30 were set to 9600, 100 and ON respectively. Of those, only the baud rate and time-out setting were changed from default. The one thing that does puzzle me is the baud rate issue. The YAESU default is apparently 4800, yet it works great at 9600 and some of you who responded suggested speeds as high as 38400. In other cases some of you only selected DTR and stated RTS was turned off -- so again I'm not sure about these values other than to say in my present configuration everything appears to be working fine. Over the last several years with my FT-1000MP MK V's I never used anything other than the default values with DX4WIN and the program ran flawlessly - in fact I even used the same DB9-to-DB9 cable that was used on the MK V's. Has something changed with the FT-2000 that requires a minor tweak in the settings? I'd like to know the answer to that question. Once again thanks to all who offered their assistance.
