[Dxbase] Re: Dxbase TS870 & DXBase 2006 interface

Thu Jan 18 17:47:40 EST 2007

With the help of Dave, VE3WEJ all is working again.
TS870 can change communication speed and it was set for 9600 and 8 and 1
change DXBase to that configuration and turned on RTS and CTS and we 
got it working but before we got it working I got a nice tip from
Dave VE3WEJ. His tip was to download and install Ham Radio Delux as 
it will do a search and it found the radio and the settings and 
displayed them.
