If your computer has a 25 pin male serial port and the Omni VI+ has
a 25 pin male DB25 serial connector, I would guess that you need a
null modem (crossover) cable between the two.  Try a cable with 2-3,
3-2 and 7-7 and see what happens. However, 25 pin serial ports are
quite rare and have been for perhaps 10 years or more - make sure
the 25 pin connector is really a serial port and not a parallel
(printer) port.

I have no idea what connections the RigBlaster Advantage provides
from its internal USB to serial converter provides or any suggestions
for configuring that product - I'd suggest contacting West Mountain
Radio support for information on using their product.
