now i got wires x working ive gained a big problem
the radio ftm 200d is hooked with scu 56 cord to my pc. im using it as pdn. power at radio 5 watts out set via the manual.
when starting i get pc set to wires x then push n hold wx button and power on. bottom of screen flashes a bit then shows steady wire x pdn .its connected. ok im monitering kc wide. after 2 minutes fan comes on n it is warm.5 minutes its really warm. 8 minutes cant touch it. i shut wires x off let fan cool it off which it does very quickly.
im getting a steady 13.7 volts to radio.fuse holder is maybe 4 or 5 degrees above room temp. i go back over settings cant see whats out of setting.
called yaehoo service. as usual id been better off asking my dog,send er in we look at it. last radio they "looked at " said was fixed wasnt opened up but i got it stopped before it left n they ate crow. i asked how easy was it to remove screws tim asked why? i said you aint opened it up. he got it n said couple not bad but dammits n crap. i dabbed screws full finger nail polish. it got new finals put in after being there 6 weeks
hope somebody sheds some light on trouble. it works just fine on fm. 50 watts n gets just warm nuff to turn fan on and fan keeps it about that temp as its used
 

Couple of questions:
  1. Do you have a dummy load or antenna/coax connected while in PDN mode?
  2. Also, is the rig selected for "Direct Operation"? Signal only to PC

I tried diffrent button push than was detailed in manuals. I got it on 3rd try. I recorded it on paper. It works proper. Had 2 long qusos on kc wide this mornin n its not transmitting on recieve nor cutting out like others are on kc wide.what i cant figure is why my radio takes diffrent key push sequinch than manuals say? I got all 3 manuald for my ftm 200 d Wires x
