When I first went on rig control with my Pro3 I was plagued by ptt drop
outs, this I cured by increasing the baud rate to the maximum of 19200, the
only time it occurs now is when I use auto repeat cq. I never have any
problems resetting the rit, maybe this is because of the high baud rate. So
maybe it will cure your problem Gary.
