Just a little follow up on this, Sam is running his radio interface at 1200 
Bd. At this speed things take longer and I guess the default timings are 
right on the edge of what will work. On the other hand if you run your rig 
at 19200 all the time you may be able to make things faster by reducing the 
timing values of  pacing and EOF.

  Start with pacing, this controls the time between each byte of data sent 
to the radio, some radios like the elecraft K2 Buffer data and can work 
with pacing=1 I wonder will this work with other modern Kenwoods?

Icom radios don't appear to buffer data well (or at all?)

EOF governs how long DXB waits for a response after sending the command, at 
19200 with the pro2 for example you can probably reduce EOF to around 50 or 60

By tinkering with these values you can expect to break the radio interface 
at lower speeds so you are on your own..

Back up your radios.ini file before you break anything <G>
