Hi,
I think that I've found an error in the capability list for the Yaesu FT100.
If I'm reading the capability dump correctly, then :
144000000 Hz - 148000000 Hz
VFO list: VFOA VFOB
Mode list: CW USB LSB FM CWR PKTUSB
Antenna list: ANT1 should be ANT2
Low power: 0.5 W, High power: 50 W
144000000 Hz - 148000000 Hz
VFO list: VFOA VFOB
Mode list: AM
Antenna list: ANT1 should be ANT2
Low power: 0.5 W, High power: 12.5 W
430000000 Hz - 450000000 Hz
VFO list: VFOA VFOB
Mode list: CW USB LSB FM CWR PKTUSB
Antenna list: ANT1 should be ANT2
Low power: 0.5 W, High power: 20 W
430000000 Hz - 450000000 Hz
VFO list: VFOA VFOB
Mode list: AM
Antenna list: ANT1 should be ANT2
Low power: 0.5 W, High power: 5 W
In fact, there are two antenna ports, HF and VHF which equate to ANT1 and ANT2 in the database accordingly . In summary, anything below 70MHz is on the HF port, anything above is on the VHF port.
I haven't confirmed it yet, but I understand that it is the same for the FT897 and FT991.
I accept that it's an old radio and that I can work around this issue. I am building a Test Equipment automation program and had hoped to use HamLib information as my database as to what I could and could not do with various radios. I have several other radios on my immediate horizon (FT290, FT817, FT897, FT3000, FT991, TH-F7e, UV-5R) with plans to include many others.
Given the age of the equipment I'm considering covering, is my validation input of any use?
What would be the correct way of reporting discrepancies?
Thanks

Makes sense.
I see now that my requirement is subtly different - that is to control a switch to catch the RF at its ANT_CURR - I just need to define that, per radio, in my definitions. I'll code accordingly.
Thanks again, Mike.

The antenna is supposed to show selectable antennas.
Since the antenna is "fixed" it should really say ANT_CURR meaning nothing to do as the current antenna is always used.
I fixed the FT100 and FT897 to show this...the 991 already had this.
Will be true for any other rig with separate ports like that which are automatically selected.
