I am using USB to 9-pin serial port adapter, with a 9-pin to 25-pin cable to the 25-pin port on the back of the Omni VI. This works great also, 73 de Tj, K4TFJ ... ___________________________________

I have had computer control of my OmniVI (Opt 3) since day 0one, using EQF logging software. I know there were issues with HRD and I sent him the magic setings, but he never entered them. FYI, I can
That wold be terrific. I use EQF now and use some of the DX Clusters. Does EQF do the frequency control? 73 de W6OGC Jim Allen _______________________________________________ TenTec mailing list TenT
Please send to me. I have an interface for my Omni 6 plus but have not used it. What is EQF? What does it cost please? Best regards - Bry Carling _______________________________________________ TenTe
