Hi Nate,

I have tried this on my FT-2000 and it seems to be working fine. I had 
changed the radio menu defaults (mainly CAT TOT) and now have them back 
to the defaults. I have struggled in the past with Hamlib for fldigi. 
Although I have had it work at times, I had been using RigCAT as it 
seemed to work better. I'll be using Hamlib for the time being.

Many thanks,

Bob W6CP
