Gert,
ver 9.27 works OK....I also wrote to K1EA and did not get a response.
at Del's, KL7HF, suggestion I tried different Baud rates and it did not
clear up the problem...
CT will read from the OMNI, but the OMNI does not like the instructions from
CT..and the error message from the OMNI will lock up CT..
For some strange reason the OMNI-VI is not a favorite of contesters....so I
don't think that Ken has spent a lot of time finding a solution...
Mebbe a call to TT is in order....

73, Jim WB2TPS
