Hi,

I am very experienced with RRC and Elecraft twin.
I am trying to help friends remote FT5000.

DF3CB. Has excellent software to emulate FT5K on screen.

CAT I understand.  Issue is how do I force the connection to Start?  How does connection start with a real FT5K ?

Any hints/kinks appreciated.

73,

Gerry W1VE, VY1AAA etc...

Hi Gerry,

You need to hit the power switch and have the two rigs talking to each other, then you can start the
software and it should work okay. I tested the FT-2000 version of his software with the twin station
I had about 10 years ago and it worked just fine that way.

Thanks Mitch,

Do you mean the power switch on the DF3CB software
Front panel?  I tried that, but it did not work.

I'm presuming there is some CAT command to power on the station 5000.

Thanks,

Gerry W1VE

No, Gerry, the power switch on the rig. That is why I wrote first hit the power switch, then
start the software after the connection is established.
