Hey, no problem. As a software engineer I always blame the hardware first. Just a reflex... :)

Good luck on Field Day,

Grounding?

Just a wild thought. What else could be different?

This afternoon I hooked up the null modem cable to the desktop, hit one end with cold spray and nothing happened. Hit the other end and *poof*, it quit working.

Not content, I went and hit the ends with a heat gun while hooked up to the Mac. You'll never guess what happened...just before I made a new one.

Thanks for pulling me off the primrose path. After years of working in software, of course it was a dev's fault, right?
