Halo Matthias,

Thanks for the very complete report! It is very incomprehensible because 
all the protocols looks correct. The Omni VI and the 751A are even both 
replying correctly to the poling protocols!

I think you tried various combination for the DTR and RTS signals, 
without success. Did you try with the serial speed and stop bits?

If it still does work, maybe I could try to remotely access to your 
radios. What do you think about? Do you have an 24/7 Internet ADSL 
connection?
