[ZL2AAA]

Have you checked that the baud rate is the same for radio and software or 
com port open?

Noticed at Field Day that my 756 Pro2 wasn't communicating with the computer
for frequency info. I resolved when I got home to make sure my 756 Pro3
(different rig) was working fine, then substitute the Pro2 and modify
software settings to make sure something was really wrong.



Imagine my surprise when the Pro3 was exhibiting the same behavior. No
frequency info between rig and software. I substituted a second Rigblaster
with the same result.



Before I send both rigs off for repair (who knows what may have happened,
but the Pro2 hasn't even been connected to an antenna), is there a good way
to test the CI-V port?
