The two CAT ports for microHAM "keyers" (microHAM USB Device Router)
must be set to the same rate.  The maximum baud rate supported by
microHAM is 57,600 bps (TenTec Orion/Orion II/Omni VII).

If one needs waterfall/panadapter data from the transceiver (Icom),
use the transceiver USB connection for waterfall/panadapter and the
CI-V connection for the microHAM keyer (CAT connection).  Details
are in the "Transceiver Settings" section of the Support area at
www.microHAM.com.
