It also has a serial port but I would like to use the USB port since it is so easy to use. Are there any plans to include USB support in the future? Bill K2WH

I have an FTDX-3000 and it is interfaced with LOGic9 using the USB enhanced port and works great. My setup is: rig FT-9000,FT-5000,FT-2000, COM8, 38400 baud, 2 stop bits Hope this helps, 73, Ron W5RAE

Anyway, thanks for your response, but the FTdx3000 is not listed as a supported rig. Secondly, if I Tools, Setup, Rig, there are numerous tabs. Which one do I select? Radio IFC or Radio Terminal and what settings do I choose ? Bill K2WH

They save a little money and clutter is all. They are simply built-in USB=>RS232 converters. They are still seen as a regular old Com port by Windows and LOGic. You still have to know the proper baud rate, etc. Not at all like plugging in a mouse or camera. Maybe someday....

Rank: Newbie Groups: Registered Posts: 1 Location: robins		Dennis, I have a FT-991a and the USB to USB port connection using ftdx3000/5000/9000 definitions does not work. I have tried on different computers and numerous COM settings and get the same results. Logic does not crash and seems to communicate with the FT-991a when the COM settings are all correct in computer and radio and Logic. Logic displays the radio's frequency 14.250Mhz as .14250. The mode buttons will change the radio modes but then switch back to showing the first button as pressed. I have used other programs (Fldigi and WSJT-X) with the USB to USB connection and it works on a FT991a definition but won't work if using a FT9000 or FT5000 definition. So if you get a chance it would be great if you can figure out the slight differences between the FT991a and FTdx3000 CAT commands and create a fully working FT-991a definition.

Try the legacy interface, #15. Let me know if it works. My notes say it works with that. But probably that is wrong since you tried the FT-5000 on other programs. Then switch back to the new interface, #52. Turn COM PORT DATA LOGGER on in the General tab. Operate the rig a minute or so, then turn off the data logger. Send me the result. It will be in LOGic's TMP folder, probably c:\program files (x86)\logic\tmp. I will fix it for you. Tnx & 73, Dennis WN4AZY

I'm trying out the demo program, but if it doesn't work with the FT-991A, the LOGic software is not as useful. I have the same problem with the frequency listed as 1/10 of the actual freq (eg, 1.4250 vs 14.250), shows wrong mode, VFO frequency does not get updated in the log form, etc.

I don't have the 991A but they should be the same. I captured the ComportDataLogger file and attached it here. File Attachment(s): COM3_Log.txt (20kb) downloaded 67 time(s).
