Mike and all,
WOW, I fixed it !! ?It couldn't have been a loose solder connection in the DB9 plug could it HI HI ?yep it sure was, the shield to pin 5 was intermittenly touching, it was loose.
I think who ever made that cable years ago is the culprit ( yep, its me).
Continuity is your best friend. ?It is really interesting how it would work a few times after I made software changes. ?I did make sure the 2.5mm plug was in the radio solid but of course handled the db9 end all the time connecting to the DB9 to USB cable.
I was just about to change to another ?2.5mm to DB9 cable that I had used when I had my IC2200H at our repeater site but then decided to check the DB9 connector.?
Thanks much to all for your help.
