Thanks for the email, but still no luck - I downloaded a tool from dxlab suites called commander, and that has no issues reading the data from the radio and the same interface.
All of the research so far points me back to dxbase... back to the drawing board. Steve W4DTA -----Original Message----- From: D.

I have some different seeting that work fine for me. In Radios.ini changing the pacing value for your rig to 10. It's probably set to 5 now. In user options 1200baud parity none uncheck DTR high, RTS high and CTS set word length to 8 and stop bits to 1 This works FB for my Icom. Merry Chirstmas, Dale AA1QD
