Hi folks, So all this talk about Gpredict got me to look at updating my own setup, which pre-dated the modern Gpredict capabilites. But being so archaic, I need some help connecting the dots... I have Gpredict / Hamlib talking to my Yaesu FT-736R radio for Doppler tracking just fine, but

Ok, some progress. I went back to my modifications to predict to see what exactly I had done, and one of the mods was to set the serial port stop bits to 2. I recall now that the Basic Stamp that drives my controller logic isn't fast enough to parse the serial stream with only one. Setting
