After STRUGGLING with a controller, the name of which I will withhold to protect the innocent, I am frustrated. I was told it had good bang for the buck. I want to be able to control a freq agile radio such as an FT-100D to act as a remote base, to work fm on 10, 2 or 6 or 440 from my repeater. This should not be too fancy nor hard given what I am hearing from many who have been on this and other sites. The controller that I have chosen has 4 ports, and though linking to the 2nd port has not been the issue, once there I seem to have NO freq control any other control, over the radio. Why must I program the radio as a Kenwood when it is a Yaesu anyway? Why does the control cable to the computer have to be removed if I want to also hook it up to the radio? Why does the clock never stay on or accurate even when a 9 volt battery is on it 24/7? If you have one of these apparently popular controllers and no something about the care and feeding I would like to hear from you PLEASE. I read my eMail many times a day especially at 2 and 10, 2 and 10. - Thanks.
