Jim, In your Radios.ini file, in the TS-870 settings down below where you changed the PACING, everywhere you see "eoc( 200 )" (without the quotes), change the 200 to 0(zero). This is what I use on my TS-2000 and the frequency change and pickup is almost instantaneous. If this should fail for some reason, try upping the number from 0 by increments of 10 until it works good.

By changing the PACING command to a lower number (was 50, now 1), DXbase now grabs band/mode info from the TS870. It still is slow to respond to commands, but it works. Thanks for the help!

Having a wierd problem I just can't figure out. Been through all the DXbase help files. DXbase controls the HF radio fine (albiet quite slowly) when clicking on cluster spots. Selects both VFOs OK when working split. However, when I am manually logging QSOs, the CTRL indicator illuminates on the 870 as if it is retrieving freq & band data from the radio, but DXbase doesn't populate the data at all. It logs the "defaults" set in options. The radio & DXbase are set to COM1, 9600, 1 & none. The port is set the same in the computer device manager. I have set & reset endlessly both radio & DXbase. I have "populate HF data from radio interface" checked in logging options. I have reset the CPU/menu on the TS870. I have no clue as to why this isn't working, yet sends data OK to the rig. Any ideas out there?
