General discussion forum / FTdx5000MP controlling a FT-950 through RRC-1258MkIIs Yaesu Twin
« on: 2021-12-01, 11:47:23 »
Hi, Guys !
The RemoteRig manual for the Yaesu Twin configuration states (page 145) that the tested configuration with these two radios is with the FT-950 at the Control site and FTdx5000MP at the Remote site. I have a FTdx5000MP that I would like to use at home to control a FT-950 placed at the Remote site.
Does anybody have any experience with this particular configuration and have information they can share ? I have found that band-switching, transmission mode, output power control, audio volume, filter bandwidth, power on/off and other basic functionality works well with the FTdx5000MP as the Control. However, when trying to send CW using the internal keyer of the Control-RRC, only the dots are transmitted by the FT-950 at the Remote site. The dashes are not transmitted. All the cables delivered by Microbit in the Yaesu Twin package are used as recommended in the manual.
Any comments or information would be most welcome.
