FT1000D and Vara

Irad,

Thanks for your help. To be sure, my rig is the FT-1000D and not the FT-1000. I've been trying to connect the rig CAT both through the drop down menu in the VaraAC for the FT-1000 option. Also, I am trying to use Omni Rg as well (with either the drop down menu for my rig or with HRD). When I use Omni Rig, I get the calling frequencey as "0" and the listening frequency as "-750". I've been reading about needing virtual port software (VSPD) to share com ports when using HRD/Omni Rig). I am getting out ok based on the PSK map. I am just struggling with the CAT control for changing frequencies automatically. Again, thanks! I am a blundered when it comes to com ports and all other computer related challenges!

Hi @joenardo

Your post was about "wrong" mode selection (RTTY and not USB). For that I believe I have provided you with an answer.

Just to be sure - you are now struggling with Com port configuration.

As you are currently using HRD and as VarAC still does not support HRD rig control, the only option for you to have both controling your transceiver simultanoisly is through a port emulator. I use alsoVSPE sometimes which is a great soltuion and it works for me. Can't help you with configuring it but I am sure that with some trial and error it will work.

VarAC will support HRD. I assume in a 2-3 months from now.

73s and good luck

Irad,

Thanks again. I am making progress and will consider trying the VSPE with HRD. I appreciate your help and support.
