Re: Cannot connect to PC

Thanks for your replies.
The cable is definitely a crossed nul modem cable.
I've also contacted both Bob Freeth (who writes the software) and Steve who makes the cables. Neither can seem to sus this one out.
It's looking increasingly like a fault with the radio.
I have now sent the cable to Bob so he can try it on his unit. Obviously if it works for him then it's my unit that is faulty.
I'll keep you all informed!
