Hi folks, I acquired an FTM-6000 a few weeks back and ordered the RT Systems software for it.
I like to use my VHF/UHF rigs as a scanner for ham/railroad/marine frequencies.
After having entered a few frequencies manually when first unboxing the rig, I turned the rig off, then connected the RTS USB cable to the rig and attempted to invoke the Clone feature as directed.
The rig came up with CLONE on the display, but try as I might I could not get to the CLONE RX or TX display to commence communication with the computer (a Mac).
I called RT Systems who suggested I needed to take the rig in for service. Not being happy with that response as the radio seemed to be working fine otherwise, I puzzled over the issue for a bit.
I disconnected the USB cable, turned on the rig to find I had left it in Memory Scan mode. I keyed the mic to stop the scan, then tried the sync process again with the USB cable installed.
It worked! The documentation for the FTM-6000 does not document this situation, nor does the RT Systems manual. I called RT Systems back to let them know in case anyone else runs into this issue.
I hope this helps someone.
