I use TR with my Omni 6, which uses the same computer interface as the 735.
I didn't have to change RECEIVER ADDRESS, the default seems to work fine.
If you want I can look in the Omni manual and find out what the default is
(it's a software-changeable option in the Omni6, unlike the 735)

The Omni 6 does have a direct rs232 port, so I haven't messed with a
level-converter interface.

There's a subtle bug to watch out for (not sure if it is specific to just
the Omni 6, or is caused by TR).  Occaisionally on 40m, the radio will qsy 
without notice by +/- 100 khz. I'm just careful to always store my cq freq 
in the second vfo in case the interface bumps me out of band.
