If your computer has a 25 pin male serial port and the Omni VI+ has
a 25 pin male DB25 serial connector, I would guess that you need a
null modem (crossover) cable between the two. Try a cable with 2-3,
3-2 and 7-7 and see what happens. However, 25 pin serial ports are
quite rare and have been for perhaps 10 years or more - make sure
the 25 pin connector is really a serial port and not a parallel
(printer) port.
I have no idea what connections the RigBlaster Advantage provides
from its internal USB to serial converter provides or any suggestions
for configuring that product - I'd suggest contacting West Mountain
Radio support for information on using their product.

Jim/Joe - I have tried to connect the Omni using db25 to db 25 on my winxp
computer. DX4Win does not see radio. Tried using db25-db9 on computer and
rigblaster advantage and still says cant see radio. Did all the tests
again
using writelog with same results. Ten tec offered no help. All I'm trying
to do is have DX4WIN log my contacts, show whar band and freq I'm on as I
tune the radio.
I suspect the radio's data is not on the connector pins as the software
expects?
Tnx agn
