The User Guide/Manual states:
Transceiver frequency can be changed by the up/down buttons on the Control Window, The rightmost button changes in 100Hz steps and leftmost changes in 1MHz steps with corresponding intermediate buttons Rapid movement around the available spectrum can be made with appropriate use of these buttons.. Using the keyboard, the Ctrl + Up/Down arrow keys will rotate the frequencies The Ctrl + Left/Right arrow keys will select the appropriate kHz/MHz increment rate.
Are the Ctrl + modifiers working for anyone with a FT-1000(D)?
I have added code to the Yaesu RCW which should make this happen, it is only in the ICOM and Kenwood RCW's at present. I am not sure how this will work out in practice as the Yaesu RCW in common with Tentec uses a less than ideal polling method to fetch the frequency and mode from the rig. I have no means to test, so will look forward to any future reports.
I am using the FT1000MP. Full frequency control is able from the rig control window, but the polling must me slow.
No control from the keyboard. This has never bothered me cause i only use the VFO to change frequency. The reason possibly is that i am mostly contesting.
