Hello I have a problem with the Cat control:
Yaesu FT757GXII
Windows10
I always get the message: “Rig not found”
For all other programs the cat control works. Only at ROS and Opera not!
Is there any help there?
23 March, 2013 at 19:14
What is your CI-IV adress?
should be “5E”

Hi everybody.
Does any have success with CAT + IC-718?

I am using an IC7000 and can’t interface it to ROS v6.1.9 or v6.1.8 on either on XP or windows 7. When using XP it is also asking me to install “Insert “NI Server Explorer 7.0″ disk and click OK.” several times. I have been igoring it and it seems to be operating OK.

retiro lo dicho!!!
ahora funciona 100%, el ROSCAT FUNCIONA!! detecta la emisora y pasa a modo emision, cosa que antiguamente nunca habia funcionado 🙂
espero pronto poder mandar reportes y contactos en este modo
ICOM 775DSP WORK!

Hi, Walter.
For the FT847, you have to select “Audio input by Mic” if you want do PTT via CAT.
17 January, 2011 at 10:57
Good morning,
I use FT847 and FT897.
CAT PTT have always work with those RIGs but now with the Version 6.1.7 only
with FT897.
In the old Version 6.0.3 its works fine
Hope you can solve this problem.Thanks in advance

Boas noites.
No meu caso, com o TS 2000, depois da V6.0.3 nao trabalhou mais.
O PTT e o audio via (com5) funciona bem, mas o cambio de banda e a freq. no.
Boena manera de poner los ussuarios de la Kenwood fora de joego (jogo).
Ja tenho saudades da V6.0.3 (Que boena eras V6.0.3) Voelve.

Sorry, ROS CAT doesn’t work with old interfaces that requires supply interface by RTS pin.
Use other interface.
1 January, 2011 at 16:51

Hallo José ,
up to now I could use either PTT or CAT but not together.
Today I load update V6.0.5 and all components work accurately together !
Congratulations !!

With Rig Control = COM you cannot control the CAT. The option should be Rig Control = CAT.
New version will include RTS+DTR option.
30 December, 2010 at 11:10
Good morning José
My Computer and Radio Setup are :
– KENWOOD TS-950SDX
– Windows 7 Ultimate X64 bits and 6 Go RAM
My configuration with ROS 6.03 is:
Rig Control = COM
PTT Port = COM3
PTT Pin = RTS + DTR
ROS v6.03 works perfectly. All is ok
My configuration with ROS V6.04 is:
Rig Control = COM
PTT Port = COM3
PTT Pin = only RTS. ( not work )
with only DTR ( not work )
Impossible to choose RTS + DTR
ROS V6.04 does not work
1) In the menu Scan is grayed
2) The CAT does not work . Impossible to change frequency
I assume that for TS-950SDX IS NEEDED RTS and DTR but in your version 6.04 is not possible de put the RTS – DTR together in PTT Pin.
I forgot to say you that in version ROS v6.04 the button TUNER do not appear and that Power Slider + the button Tune do not appear also
I come back for the moment in ros v6.03
Best 73′s José and Happy New Year 2011

Hi Jose,
as I told you by eMail, CAT to a Ten-Tec Jupiter doesn’t work properly.
But if you need some help at testing, feel free to contact me. The Jupiter and myself are happy to support your development.
