Minicom should be configured for 9600 8N1 connection, and if you are seeing the cmd: and when you hit 'enter' it take you to a new line with another cmd: prompt then Minicom should be configured okay. (the first two are optional) cmd: RESET cmd: MYCALL KB3JCM cmd: MONITOR ON cmd: MCon OFF cmd: MCom ON cmd: MResp ON ...wait some time... cmd: MHeard L If you are still having problem, check the HBaud is 1200, and CD is INTERNAL. I hope this helps, ve1mct
