Hello,
Still cannot get the serial connection to work. Looking through the manual,
I can find no mention and the circuit board descriptions of what circuit
board does the interfacing with the serial cable? I want to pull the covers
and look for loose connections etc.
Back to the wiring. I now have three different wiring configurations all
from Ten Tec.
What I have is a 25 Pin (Radio) to a 9 Pin (Computer) wired as below.
Computer Radio
Pin 2 ----------Pin 3
Pin 3 ----------Pin 2
Pin 5 ----------Pin 7
Pins 1, 4 and 6 jumpered (shorted) together on the computer 9 Pin connector.
Some of the documentation show no jumpers at pins 1, 4 and 6, and one shows
jumpers only from pin 4 to pin 6? Are the jumpers necessary and in what
combination?
Jerry, K0CQ (thank you) sent me some detailed information to help explain
what the various pins are for, but I'm still lost. I have tried every
combination of DTR and RTS in the software packages such as HDR.
Has anyone found hardware problems inside the OMNI causing no communication?
I have already done a master reset with no help.
Any suggestions/help would be greatly appreciated.

DW, I've used PCI serial cards from Byterunner on several occasions with
excellent results. They're cheaper than most places as well. Their
telephone rep told me, last time I called, that Hams were regular
customers.

Tim,
I will check tomorrow and see if I can find a Serial Port PCI Card. Is
there any drivers etc required, or is a Serial Card plug and go.
Thank you again,
