[Dxbase] TS870 & HF interface

[James Leahy]

Thanks to a couple tips I have resolved the logging issue. By changing the 
PACING command to a lower number (was 50, now 1), DXbase now grabs band/mode 
info from the TS870. It still is slow to respond to commands, but it works. 
Thanks for the help!

Hi all. Having a wierd problem I just can't figure out. Been through all the 
DXbase help files. DXbase controls the HF radio fine (albiet quite slowly) 
when clicking on cluster spots. Selects both VFOs OK when working split. 
However, when I am manually logging QSOs, the CTRL indicator illuminates on 
the 870 as if it is retrieving freq & band data from the radio, but DXbase 
doesn't populate the data at all. It logs the "defaults" set in options. The 
radio & DXbase are set to COM1, 9600, 1 & none. The port is set the same in 
the computer device manager. I have set & reset endlessly both radio & 
DXbase. I have "populate HF data from radio interface" checked in logging 
options. I have reset the CPU/menu on the TS870. I have no clue as to why 
this isn't working, yet sends data OK to the rig. Any ideas out there?
