[TenTec] Omni VI plus to computer hookup

[Steve Berg]

I bought one of these USB to 1/8 inch phone plug cables for my Argonaut 
II from RT Systems.  I managed to get it to work with my N3FJP logging 
program with the Omni VI parameters by setting the speed to 1200 Baud, 
and the device number to 40h.  I suspect that it would work just fine 
with an Omni VI.
