I control my Nexstar 11 GPS using the AIRcable Serial 3, CDC 3X and ASCOM. This setup works flawlessly for me even when I use ASCOM's POTH and Nexremote. I also use Astroplanner, Nexremote List, Stellarium and have used the AIRcable Serial 3 to control a Meade LX200 Classic using Meade's Autostar Suite. What (if any) Bluetooth USB Dongle are you using? I have encountered problems with USB Dongles that would work with some programs but not with others. Where they did not work I would experience the error message you are encountering. Also, what Bluetooth stack and computer system are you using? Edward E
