I am using CT both version 8 and 9, I also have NA version 9 and I have 
not run into this problem, yet. I have Cde turned on for both my every 
day logging program and for CT, so far it has not bothered  NA. The 
display has not gone haywire yet. There is a possibility that I might 
have older firmware, my rig was purchased in November 1992, and serviced 
in November 1994. I have used it for our multi-multi operations at N2RM, 
and have had no problems. I run my interface at 9600 baud usin a 3 
conductor cable between computer and rig.
