I'd appreciate any comments helping me to clarify some issues with serial commands for the Argo V.

First off, N4PY's control program works fine with my setup; It's when I attempt to issue commands under Teraterm or Hyperterm that I run into problems. I have the comm protocols set up correctly (1200, N,8, 1). Some commands execute correctly (*X, *M, *J, #0, #1, ?E, ?S, ?V), while others do not execute.

My main interest is in setting frequency control. If I issue the vfo A query command (?A), I receive a cryptic 2 or three letter code, which looks like extended ASCII code. I have yet to successfully set the rig's frequency with the *A command.

I KNOW the baud rate, parity, and , word length are correctly set, because when I issue the DSP restart command, I receive the message "RADIOSTART."

Thanks,  Paul  AA4XX
