[WriteLog] Serial Card Question

[Bob Naumann - N5NJ]

Ric is right.

TXD and RXD are the pins that send and receive data.  Without them, the por=
ts are useless - for rig control in this case.

I doubt that you need these pins to control anything (PTT or FSK).

This is usually done on the DTR & RTS lines.
