In using HRD version 5.24., durrent release, for what ever reason I have not been able to get it to connect to the radio, Radio Mode, via RS-232 connection. No serial converter being used. Configuration: Com port 1, 57600 8 N 1 seems to be correct. Other software using the same computer, same cable and same radio does work and it reads frequency and mode as expected. When HRD loads it gives the error message that it can not read frequency. I've tried the Auto-Detect mode for both com ports and baud rates without success. I've tried various combinations of DTR, RTS and CTS without any success.

I seem to recall that an earlier version of HRD works but I no longer have access to the version. That earlier version did not have provisions for the Eagle which the current version supports and that work nicely I might add.

I've also stepped back to earlier firmware versions of Omni VII firmware without success. Currently using 1.035a for the Omni VII.

Any thoughts or suggestions will be appreciated.
