[TenTec] Argonaut V Serial Commands

[Paul Stroud]

I'd appreciate any comments helping me to clarify some issues with 
serial commands for the Argo V.

First off, N4PY's control program works fine with my setup; It's when I 
attempt to issue commands under Teraterm or Hyperterm that I run into 
problems.
I have the comm protocols set up correctly (1200, N,8, 1).  Some 
commands execute correctly (*X, *M, *J, #0, #1, ?E, ?S, ?V), while 
others do not execute.

My main interest is in setting frequency control.  If I issue the vfo A 
query command (?A), I receive a cryptic 2 or three letter code, which 
looks like extended ASCII code.  I have yet to successfully set the 
rig's frequency with the *A command.

I KNOW the baud rate, parity, and , word length are correctly set, 
because when I issue the DSP restart command, I receive the message 
"RADIOSTART."

Thanks,  Paul  AA4XX
