I can't see anything wrong and I have two Omni VI's.

You HAVE tried 2400 baud, right?

Here's a piece of my .cfg:

Radio one control port = serial 1
Radio one baud rate  = 2400
Radio one name = Radio 1
Radio one type = ic735

Radio two control port = serial 2
Radio two baud rate = 2400
Radio two name = Radio 2
Radio two type = ic735

I suggest you go back to your serial cable.

If you are using a db25 to db25 cable, make sure your using this wiring
config:
Omni    PC
pin     pin
2       2
3       3
7       7

The following pin listing is very important. Some versions of the Omni VI
manual db25 to db9 cable wiring diagram were wrong!

db25 to db9
Omni    PC
pin     pin
2       3
3       2
7       5

Good luck and 73,
dale, kg5u
