No, you are not missing anything. Either connection works the same. The
only advantage of the mini-plug connection is you can parallel connect up to
4 CI-V type radios connected over the same serial port at the same time. I
used to have a Paragon II and Omni V.9 connected at the same time this way
and could swap frequencies between the Paragon II and Omni V.9 directly this
way without a computer doinng anything.

Subject: [TenTec] Omni VI serial control
> Carl, what is the point of the mini plug CI-V interface? I have used a
standard serial cable from a com port to the DB25 on the rear of the Omni 6
for years and it works without any interfaces... Am I missing something?
