[Dx4win] Radio & Label Problems - Setup?

[R.T.Liddy]

Jim,
 
Got it working!!
 
Set DX4WIN and 7700 both at 4800 bd.  Didn't work.
Set RTS & DTR both asserted and voila!!  Works!!
 
Thanks!
 
73/MX,   Bob K8BL
 
P.S. Now, if I can just print one label at a time like my 15 year
         old DXBase 4.5, I'll be happy.   hihi

Also play with the DTR/RTS check boxes, try all four combinations.  If
you are using a real ICOM CI-V interface, then this should not be
necessary.
