Scott,
For what it's worth, I use a Radio Shack USB to serial cable on 7.07.02 connected to my ICOM and it works great. Sure beats ICOM's 
price for the CI-V cable.

Hey Guys,
     I figured out the problem.  It isn't the DX4WIN 7.07.02.  I did a clean new installation and added all the information for my 
station back in.

I found out it was the USB to serial cable.  I bought a new computer and there was only one serial port on it.  So I bought a 
Radio Shack USB to serial cable.  The rig was on the USB cable and the rotor on a normal serial port.  I have since changed the 
cables around and found the problem.  It seem to be rock solid now and everything seems to be working.

Lesson learned.  Note to self. Save your old multi port serial cards.

Thanks
wr0u
Scott
