As I mentioned in the original mail, I already tried fiddling with the 
stop bits and speeds, and it didn't help. I don't think changing away 
from "n,8" would help, since the CAT data stream is defined as 8-bit 
data with no parity; besides the results I'm seeing do show the frames 
I'm getting are being deserialized right, it's just the entire first 
frame is being missed.
I'm considering trying a PC Card serial interface next, but short-term 
I'm just going to log band changes manually in my little Field Day 
operation next week. (I'll be using a Buddipole, so band changes are 
going to be infrequent anyway.)
