What's really odd is that Meade puts two RS-232 ports on the LX200GPS/R models,
but you can only use one at a time. On the LX200 classic (which only had one
socket, but you could wire two connections using different sets of pins in the
socket), you could use both simultaneously (with occasional glitches, but that
seemed to depend on the software programs you were using). On our new 16"
LX200R (which still has only one physical socket but two possible sets of
pins, like the classic), I can use either connection separately, but if I try
to connect to two programs, either the second program won't connect, or the
scope will crash the minute either program tries to communicate with the scope
with both programs connected.
