Hi guys Looking to interface this FT-991 to DX4WIN. Thanks de KR4dA Bob BTW CommCat has already added a RIG file. I am playing with the demo here. --- This email has been checked for viruses by Avast antivirus software. http://www.avast.com __ DX4WIN mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/dx4win Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:DX4WIN@mailman.qth.net This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html
[Dx4win] FT-991 RIG FILE
In a program called FLDIGI they use XML for rig files. There in there rig files is a XML file FT-991.XML. I downloaded this file and installed it in the FLDIGI program rig files and it controls the FT-991. What could be done to use this file for DX4WIN as a rig file for the FT-991 in DX4WIN? ARE dx4win rig files XML files or something else.

Re: [Dx4win] FT-991 RIG FILE?
Yes tried several. The FT990 is a really old radio. I tried 200 5000 950 847. No biggie. Someone will come up with one. But as I said COMMCat has one that works nicely.

No solution for DX4WIN at the moment. Yaesu is notorious for having different CAT protocols for each radio. -- Jim Reisert AD1C, , http://www.ad1c.us __ DX4WIN mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/dx4win Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:DX4WIN@mailman.qth.net This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html

Re: [Dx4win] FT-991 RIG FILE
Hi Joe, Well progress. 1. I changed the radio and dx4win options as advised. 2. I turned off the radio and started DX4win and then started the radio. 3. I can click on DX SPOTS and the MODE is set. 4. When selecting a DX SPOT that has a split it SETS the SPLIT A B not freq changes. 4. THE FREQ DOES NOTHING no changes. So MODE is set, SPLIT mode is set, BUT no freq changes. Cool.were getting somewhere. I patiently wait your next instructions.

Re: [Dx4win] FT-991 RIG FILE
Hi Joe, I tried your FT-991 rig file and this is what happens. Clicking on a dx spot 14,089.5 the radio sets 140.895 vhf. ONCE the radio freq is set it will NOT change by clicking other spots on dx spotting cluster. Clicking on a CW spot sets theRADIO MODE to CW Clicking on a RTTY spot sets theRADIO MODE to RTTY. NOTE: that when clicking a spot the QSO window in DX4WIN DOES set the FREQ (khz) in the little window next to GROUP. Interesting it's setting the freq there but not changing the radio freq. NOTE: Rig files for N1mm, HRD, FLDIGI, have been written and work in those programs. I would think a RIG file for DX4WIN from Paul would not be that hard to provide. Thanks for your efforts.
