Great thinking !! That works perfectly, including the Band Changing when no power is on the PW-1 (this also wouldn't work). This way of course eliminates the need for a CT-17 or Rig Blaster level converter. Currently using 9600 baud as that's what I have been using. Again many thanks - The Dx-Base Reflector is a great place for solving problems !!
