You can get away with just reading the data as long as you match the radio settings on the computer. Once connection established you just read the asci string provided. See http://www.freqofnature.com/software/protocols.html#IC for the protocol.

Yes I seen the pinout as well. I assume that the connections from one end of the cable to the other must just be a wire with no level converting. Has anyone actually measured that this is correct using an ohm meter? Also I wonder if it will work with just pins 2,3,5 of the db9 or does it need all 9 connections made for handshaking? --- In [email protected] <mailto:BC245XLT%40yahoogroups.com> , "Peter Duffy" <pduffy211@...> wrote: > > My suggestion would be watch Ebay.
