I have both a model 301 remote knob and computer serial communications
connected to the DB-25 connector on my Omni VI, and it works fine. I had
to make a 'Y' adapter with three 25 pin D connectors. If you need exact
pin to pin wiring instructions I can give you that information easily,
since I never got around to putting connector shells on it, I can see
where every wire goes. Just let me know and I'll email a wiring list to
the reflector.

OK Joe,
Thanks, I was afraid that may be the answer, but I didn't really want to lose
the ability to use the 301 remote at the same time. Oh well you can't have it
all.

I would guess that the problem may be with your Serial Port hookup to the 1/8"
phone jack. I have never used the serial port (TTL level) connection but rather
the DB-25. I use the cheapest Chinese USB-to-Serial converter and connect to my
homemade DB-25 to DB-9 adapter configured as shown in chapter 5 of my OMNI VI+
manual. It works great.
Joe, N4YG
