I just received the J-Com interface and have been trying to get it working
for the upcoming ARRL DX contest.

When using CT all I get is a timeout error.  When using TR Log I can
control the mode, band up & down, qsy vfo in the S&P mode, type freq into
call window to send the radio to a new freq, but the thing doesn't seem to
be sending any vfo data to the computer.  RX by radio but no TX to
computer.

Hardware:
        486DX33 & STB 4-Com Serial card (4 high speed ports)
        Yaesu FT-1000 (firmware v6.0)
        J-Com TC-Y1 Interface (one week old)
        TR Log v5.16
        CT v9.13

Baud rate set to 4800 in software.

Anyone else have this problem?
What was your fix?
