The data is nearly all good, so probably not a rs232 rate issue. Looking at the transformations in the above data, / = ? 1 =q , = CR = = m = } they are all single/multiple bit flips in the top nibble of the character hex value. Maybe it's a UART that has hickups. I couldn't find a schematic,

I've just got a Rapco 1804M and while it works, within the limits of my antenna placement, the RS-232 serial out doesn't read very well, and seems to have incorrect characters. The voltage levels look OK, and the terminal emulation program is set to 4800 baud, 8-bit, no parity, one stop

Fellow time-nuts, As I have been running TADD-2 dividers (modified for clock-squaring, i.e. buffering of the squared clock) I get re-occuring events when I have a flicker noise limit instead of a white noise limit. This seems to come and go, and I have not yet fully captured its behaviour.
