        Thanks to you and the others plus the use of the reflector, I
believe you have solved the problem I was having.  I haven't really fully
tested the Omni-VI with NA yet, but prelims look extremely promising.  I had
mostly been trying to emulate an IC-735.  This WILL NOT work with THIS
Omn-VI.  Apparently, when I had tried earlier to emulate an IC-781, I had
made some other error which kept things from operating.  This afternoon I
tried it once more following John's (N0IJ) advice, and it appears that I'm
back in business with a pseudo IC-781.

      On another matter, you said:

Yes, Ten-Tec uses pin 6 on the Omni-VI for the external tuning knob.  (But
but does not use pin 4.)  But what I was referring to was connecting pins 4
and 6 together at the computer DB9 port.  (As shown on page 64 of the
Version 10 book.)  These remain connected and seem not to cause problems.

        My sincere thanks to you, and to John and to Larry for the help and
encouragement.  You said:

I would say you are more than "pretty good".  You are fantastic.  Thanks!

73, Charles
