Hello all. I am having a bear of a time trying to program my F30-LT-M (marine). I have the ex1489M version of the software, and the OPC-427 cable, But I keep getting Com port errors when trying to read from the radio. Any particulars with regards to com port settings? I read the readme that comes with the land mobile software, references to turning off the FIFO? Never seen this before.
Help, Will

I am having the same trouble with my 2100 as willbartlett
I am using a 760cd ibm laptop with windows 98 with a shortcut on the desktop to boot into DOS
Can someone give some setting for their com ports
bits per second
data bits
parity
stop bits
flow control
thank you

Problem with Programming
Hi,
The reason that you get the error is because you are not running it in DOS mode.
Not within windows (don't click on ms-dos prompt on desltop) you need to reboot into dos.
So when the computer is starting hit the F8 key a few times.
That will take you to the safe mode bootup.
Then hit the Comand Prompt Only key.
Then run the ICOM software.
It sould then run ok.
Hope that helps you.
