Hi All-
I just ran 9.37 in FD from my campsite in Maine, using an icom 725 and ct v
9.37. The bug described below did not occur. I was using a pentium laptop. I
brought home the laptop, radio interface and cable and tried them connected
to my 735 at home and the bug was back . Either my 735 has a problem or CT
does.... the 735 radio interface works fine on either computer with either
of my radios using either interface with CT version 9.35 and lower, but both
9.36 and 9.37 react as described below using the 735 with any combo of
computer and either of my two jcom radio interfaces. And the same hardware
works with CT v 9.37 and my icom 725....
Does anyone have a clue how to get the 735 working again with v 937? the 735
works fine with other programs... and with CT 9.35 and below.

Thanks. 73 Scott N1SP
