CAT-1000D By CN8HB
=================

CAT1000D provides control over the Yaesu FT-1000D series.

To date, the FT-1000D is supported. Due to the relative similarity in
the commands, the FT-890 and FT-990 may be compatible (not tested though).

It is also planned to support the FT-990 and the FT-890 transceivers.

There is actually no help file compiled  for this software. The help
file will be made available later.

Most of the commands are intuitive and do not require any explanation
to be understood. Try a Right-Click on some of the buttons...

Major Commands:
---------------
* Several buttons or fields react to a right click of the mouse.
  These are :

  - In the KeyPad (QSYer) window : 
    The [1Mhz] [100Khz] buttons Step change from Down to Up.
    The QMB buttons use Right click to set the button frequency
    and Left click to recall the frequency.

  - In the M-List window : 
    The [Save] and [Load] buttons will present the "Save As" or
    "Select File" option with a right Click rather than the
    default ft1000.ymp file. The new file name/Path will be saved
    an recalled for further use.

* After opening the scope window, a double-click anywhere
  in the blue field will set the Main or Sub VFO to the
  frequency displayed on the scale and in the yellow label.
  Main or Sub selection is achieved with the Main/Sun buttons
  pair on the same window.

* Moving the mouse left or right with the Right button maintained
  depressed on the mouse will change the frequency as you move.

* A click on the Tx or Rx sign or within the Clarifier frame will
  reset the clarifier to 0.00

* If [Freq] is selected on the QSYer window, the frequency can be
  entered either with the mouse and click on the buttons or with
  the numeric keypad.
  The sequence is :
  - Start with [Enter]
  - Then enter the frequency with a leading 0 if less than 10 Mhz.
    You dont need to enter a decimal point in the sequence.
  - End with [Sub] or [Main]
    or on the KeyPad, 
    the [+] key for the Main VFO
    the [-] key for the Sub VFO

Known bugs:
The FT-1000D is controlled by a rather slow processor. The Band scope
has to be slow accordingly.

Due to the way Yaesu implemented their CAT interface, timing  and
delays are sometimes difficult or impossible to solve.

Reload Memory (M-List window)
The clarifier  Frequency cannot be  uploaded from the Mem-List window
[Upload] function. It  seems that  setting the clarifier from the CAT
interface does not work at all.
