Hi One way to tell what is going on is to use a serial port monitor. Eltima has on that has a free trial. You install it, start it and then select the comport you wish to monitor. Select terminal mode. Then start the software you wish to monitor. Look at the commands before and after the software issues an FA00014200000 for example (that is a command to tune to 14.2 mhz. Also see if you see some kind of delay. Some of the other modes in the serial port monitor, can give timestamps too which might be useful. Send an excerpt if you can do this and may be we can see something 73s Tom
