<DIV>Hello Jeff (W2FU) and Bob (N6TV),</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Thank you both very much for your quick replies to my cries for help last
night. I am happy to report that control of the RT-21 from Wintest is now
working. </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Jeff, I did what you said and tried to access the RT-21 from the Setup
Utility, but just could not get the utility to talk to the GH. I tried a
couple of com ports, but still no joy. I then checked the continuity of
the serial port cable (new and unused from my junk box) and, guess what, I
had continuity only on pin-1. No continuity at all on pins 2, 3 and
5. Now, I don't know why a cable with continuity only on pin-1 would even
exist, but I for sure had one!!!</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>A trip to Radio Shack, and $21.38 later (yes, it was a rip off), the new
serial cable solved the problem. When I connected the GH to com4, the
Setup utility immediately connected. I then tried it with Wintest and
wtRotors, and it works beautifully. </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>I figure that having the "Point and Shoot Azimuth" feature will help my
score next weekend. I will think of you guys every time I
hit Ctrl+F12, hi.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Thanks again.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>73, George </DIV>

COM4 isn’t working.. Are you using an add-in card for this? Make
sure you have a through cable….2-2, 3-3, etc. If WT Rotors has a baud
rate setup, make sure it’s at 4800 baud (the DCU
standard)<o:p></o:p></SPAN></FONT></P>
