[DogParkList] FT-2000D and other stuff

[George Scott]

Hello everyone,
As way of introduction. My name is George, call is WA0fSE and I live  
in Fridley, MN, a suburb of Minneapolis. I have been a Mac user since  
the Fat Mac came out in about 1984.

Following Don's suggestion to me I would like to ask the group if  
anyone is using an FT-2000D (or 2000) with LOTW. I have been  
experiencing Audio problems on my FT-2000D. The AF gain control in  
Prefs seems to jump to maximum periodically and once in awhile the  
squelch jumps to max muting the audio. I uploaded a debug file to Don  
and he confirmed that there was/is a communication problem between the  
rig and the software. Why? That is the question.

I wonder if anyone else is experiencing similar problems.

I am using a G4 version of the MacMini (1.25 GHZ)  with 1G of memory  
running OS X v 10.5.5. I am also using MLDX v 4.3.5. I have not tried  
a different serial to USB interface in order to eliminate it as the  
problem. I think (he thinks?) I am using an Easy Sync USB adapter....I  
bought it a long time ago and it has no labels on it.....the drivers  
from Easy Sync work with it.

Some other comments....

I am a Wannabe programmer, emphasis on Wannabe and own a relatively  
recent copy of Real Basic. I have started the tutorials but not being  
a programmer or not knowing basic I get hung up pretty quickly.  
Probably wanting to do things to fast also....the ole' run before you  
walk syndrome. I would second WW2DX's thoughts on a developer  
reflector.....knowing that many of us are newbies (to programming) and  
will ask elementary questions. Maybe use this List for a start?

Thanks for your time,

George WA0FSE
