Chas,

I solved the problem.  The comm ports were not set correctly in the BANDS I 
SET FREQUENCY&MODE menu.

It really irks me that simply assigning radios to comm ports in the SETUP I 
PORTS menu is not sufficient to make WL talk to the radios.  Radios must also 
be assigned correctly in the BANDS I SET FREQUENCY&MODE menu.

Furthermore, it is strange that the comm port references in SETUP I PORTS are 
not consistent with those of the computer.  In SETUP I PORTS, the comm ports 
are referred to as COM0, COM1, COM2 and COM3.   But in the BANDS I SET 
FREQUENCY&MODE menu, they are referred to as COMM1, COMM2 and COMM3, which is 
consistent with the computer's reference to comm ports.  Go figure!
