   Well guess what I got it working.  First thing was to ask the author of fldigi   
   who suggested a new method of hooking the advantage throught the back packet   
   port rather through the front microphone audio.   
      
   Next I went to the tech support at West Mountain Radio asking for that cable   
   and sending part of the reply and the diagram to them.   
      
   I got a quick answer back saying that was not necessary and giving me a   
   suggestion on what setting to use on the program.   
      
   Well what do you know five minutes laster it was working and no need for a   
   new cable.  So now I am able to configure both te 5000 and the 867D to to

   We have used hat mode in county hunters but there are not many if any mobiles   
   that are active digitally which is too bad becayse U an at 74,9% of all the   
   U.S. counties worked on digital.  I do pick up a new one on FT8 once int a   
   while but they are few and far between.   
      
   I've got a few on 6 and 12 meters which have both been open.  5 meters was   
   open to Canada, Bermuda, barzil and Washington State here last week.   
      
   40 meters has been good and Ihave picked sup a few new countries in the last   
   week or so, New Caladonia, (rare for me because of my antenna), Finland,   
   Gibralter and one or two others.  Wating for the to concfurn KBITW,
