I am trying (remotely by e-mail) to develop the necessary code necessary to
interface to a Paragon 585.  I am having little success.

What is the correct command sequence to read the freq/mode settings of the
radio?  First I tried issuing a command sequence of SPOT ENTER (?@) which
momentarily switched VFOs in the radio.  Then I tried STATUS ENTER (\@)
This looked more promising, as the radio actually returns a string of
information.  However, the information returned does not appear to convey
any meaningful information - for example:

freq     filter      returned string           offset
-------- -------- ------------------------- ---------
1842.80  .25/.5     3333333H3c3     303          -

          1.8       333333 H3c3     303          -    
          
          2.4       333333@H3c3     303          -

          1.8       333333$h3c3333  303         RX +03.0kHz

          1.8       333333"h3c333   303         TX +03.0kHz  
          
3530.00   1.8       3333 H3c3       303          -    

         .5/.25     33333H3c3       303          -

          2.4       3333@3c3        303          -         
          
          2.4       333333Dh3c333   303          RX +03.0kHz  
          
          2.4       333333Bh3c333   303          TX +03.0kHz

7030.00   0.25      3333H3c         303          - 

          0.5       3333H3c         303@         -

          1.8       333 H3c         303B         -

          2.4       3333Dh33        303D         RX + 03.0kHz 
          
          2.4       33333Bh333      303          TX  +03.0kHz

All this looks encouraging, but doesn't mean anything.

Does anyone know the correct command sequences to a) read the radio
frequency and mode, and b) put the radio on a freq/mode?

Please reply directly,
Thanks, 
Bob.
