Hi Carl....purchased a new ldg at 200 pc and seem to have a problem with
erratic performance....sometmes it works but most of the time your software
and it don't seem to communicate very well.
Tried another 200 pc control program with the same results. Have tried both
the usb to serial port interface that came with the tuner plus another known
good usb to serial port interface.
Sounds like a bad serial chip in the tuner...what do you think?
