[1000mp] Serial Port Dead

[Rob Murray]

I got my Mark V Field a few months ago, and have tried several times to get
it to work with Ham Radio Deluxe and my laptop. However, the serial port
appears utterly dead, and that out of the box. I have checked all the
connections, established that the 'puter is sending requests via the right
line, understand that the null modem is built into the radio and I don't hve
to provide it, and am attempting 4800 8n2 communication. No joy. Never even
a flicker on the CAT light, and never a response to my 'puter.

Am I missing something, is there some sort of switch that turns the port
off, or is it likely is really was dead out of the box?

Here's hoping...
