So I have my Icoms and my interfaces.  I hooked it all up, and now I find
some odd and incorrect behavior which I hope some of you TR-Icom Gurus can
straighten me out on quickly.  Surely the program works perfectly if only I
knew how to use it, right?

Icom 746 PRO

I have the baud rate in the radio set to 4800 and TRlog set also to 4800.

Then there's this "RADIO ONE RECEIVER ADDRESS" - it says to use "86" for an
IC746PRO, but the IC746PRO has a user-selectable address currently set to
"66h" or something which I don't think is "base 10" (per manual).  Anyway I
put

RADIO ONE RECEIVER ADDRESS = 86

When I turn it all on, TRlog's band info is wrong, it says "NONCW" or
something.  I turn the knob, and the frequency numbers come up correctly on
the TRlog screen, but even though it says "7048.5" TRlog still says "NONCW".
I stop turning, and the numbers go away.  I turn again and the numbers
appear again, tracking correctly.  I change bands on the radio, and TRlog
does not change bands.  I change bands on TRlog and the radio doesn't track
the bandchange.

Sooooo, I'm wondering what I have done wrong.  Any tips?  I would like to
get it all working prior to Field Day if possible.  Thanks in advance.

Mark, N5OT
