I am developing new software and have a compelling and frustrating problem regarding CAT commands to the FTDX101MP.
I have no problem sending commands through either the Serial or USB ports. I can enter a BU1; and the band goes up as it should. All other commands in this format work well. However, starting on page four of the FTDX101 CAT control booklet are some rather generic commands in a chart called "Table 2 Menu Chart". There are no instructions on how these commands are entered. After five hours of trying various formats I decided to type here. I need to use a few of these commands for a project I am writing the software for. If anyone knows please tell me how these commands should be entered. It will be well appreciated. Thank you. Chris.

If you told use what you're trying we could tell you what you're doing wrong.
But, for example, to set the command in that table AM/AGC SLOW DELAY
They are all done with the EX command
So...
P1=01=RADIO SETTING
P2=02=MODE_AM
P3=03=AGC SLOW DELAY
P4=0020=20ms
EX0102030020;

Mike thank you. It was the "ex" commands I was having trouble with. The manual is laid out in such a way that it is not clear. The ex explanation for the "chart" is on the preceding page. Yaesu USA tech support couldn't. even figure this out. I called Yeasu in England and they explained it to me.
