The Mode panel should reflect changes you make to your radio's mode via its front panel The VFO panel should reflect changes you make to your radio's frequency via its front panel Set the Command interval to 200 ms ( note: older radios like the Yaesu FT-767 require longer Command intervals like 400 ms, but the microprocessors in modern Yaesu transceivers can handle command intervals much shorter than 200 ms, allowing Commander to more smoothly track frequency, mode, and meter changes after everything is working correctly, try reducing the Command interval to 100 ms, and then to 50 ms)įor an FTDX-9000 with one receiver, uncheck the General panel's Accept 'Dual Rcv On' directives and Accept 'Dual Rcv Off' directives boxes

on the Configuration window's General tab,.

If an external interface is being used and it derives its power from the serial port's DTR or RTS modem control signals, set the DTR or RTS selector to On note that some CT-62 replacement cables from suppliers other than Yaesu use modem control signals for power. Recent Yaesu transceivers - the FT-991, FTDX-101, FTDX-1200, FTDX-3000, FTDX-5000, and FTDX-9000 - perform well with a baud rate of 38,400įor an FT-450, FT-950, FT-991, FTDX-101, FTDX-1200, FT-2000, FTDX-3000, FTDX-5000, or FTDX-9000 connected to your computer with an RS-232 cable, set the serial port's RTS selector to On (requires a DB9F-to-DB9F cable with all nine pins connected straight through)

most Yaesu transceivers require 2 stop bits.

Select the baud rate, parity, word length, and stop bits that match your radio's settings In Commander's Configuration window select the Ports tab and thenĭesignate the serial port that is connected to your radio interface

In Commander's Configuration window, select the General tab and then set the Radio panel's Model selector to your transceiver model, e.g. Run Commander, and click the Config button on its Main window to open its Configuration window

If your transceiver's user manual indicates the presence of a CAT TOT (Computer Aided Transceiver Time Out Time) item in its Menu system, set this item to 1000

Getting Started with Yaesu Transceiver ControlĬonnect your Yaesu transceiver to your PC if you use one of your PC's USB ports, configure Windows to not automatically power down this port.
