Did you try the RCP570 program from the T21 laptop? I've used the PIEXX
microprocessor board in my TS-930 and TRLog for a couple of years with
never a moment's hiccup.
In my logcfg.dat, these are the only radio-control entries:
RADIO one TYPE = TS850S
RADIO one CONTROL PORT = SERIAL 1
RADIO two TYPE = FT1000MP
RADIO two CONTROL PORT = SERIAL 4
I don't recall that the PIEXX has any means of specifying the baud rate --
my impression was that it adapts to whatever the controlling software is
sending.
Have you tried using your laptop to control another transceiver with TRLog?
