Hi,

I have my FT-1000D (firmware rev 6.0) connected to my Windows 7 Ultimate SP1 computer via the W1GEE LCU3-Y1-USB interface that I received from PDA a few days ago. I set the LOGic (v9.0.47) Radio Ifc Radio 1 to "FT 1000 (6.0 or later ROM) (legacy)", Port= COM 3 (confirmed to be the correct port), Baud Rate = 4800 and 2 stop bits as per the FT-1000D manual. DTR and RTS are both checked.

When I click OK, the "CAT System" indicator on the FT-1000D flashes at a rate of about 2 Hz for approximately 14 seconds, then I receive this timeout error message from LOGic:

"A timeout occured {sic} while attempting to communicate with a rig. Make sure rig is turned on and check cabling and setup parameters.

POLLING DISABLED. 0 characters in buffer

11/06/2012 11:12:01"

Thinking that this might have something to do with Windows 7, I created a virgin VMWare virtual machine running Windows XP Professional SP3, installed the W1GEE interface, installed LOGic 9.0.44 from the CD, repeated the test and got the same result. I also tried using the "FT-1000MP (legacy)" selection in both operating systems and got the same results.

I don't think there is any problem with my radio because this very same radio used to work fine with LOGic 5 via the Yaesu FIF-232C interface and a traditional serial port running on NT 4.0. Please tell me how to resolve this problem.
