[ct-user] Omni Vi and CT DOS 10.12.003

[Ken Brown]

     One thing that is often trouble, is that even though I found the 
list of stuff that can be specified in the CT.CFG file, such as "RADIO1" 
there is not a concise description of what the acceptable options are. 
So for instance is it IC781, or IC-781, or Icom 781, or Icom781, or Icom 
IC781,or Icom IC-781, etcetera? If you use an unrecognized radio name, 
it does not tell you, it just doesn't work. I have tried to follow the 
exact lettering in the pop up list that you get when starting up CT 
without using the "-now" switch.
     So far, after extensive experimentation, the best I can get is: 
with CdE ON on the Omni VI, the computer knows what frequency the radio 
is on,and can switch SPLIT on and off, but does not load the frequencies 
into the radio. With CdE OFF the computer can control the radio, but 
does not get frequency information from the radio. This is using the 
OMNI-VI setting in CT and at any baud rate I have tried 1200, 2400,
4800 and 9600. It works the same at any baud rate. Using the IC781
setting has not helped, it even made it worse.

I'm sticking with Radio1: com1, Omni-VI, 9600 and CdE ON.

Thanks for the help,
