Well with your help I'm back in action. My 5000 has the dreaded keypad bounce so using the computer is great. My new computer doesn't have a serial port, I had to buy a usb serial adapter. Along with your settings I had to uninstall the serial drivers and reinstall them again and all is fine.

I haven't used the radio in quite a while so I was a little rusty.

Thanks again

Thanks for the response. Yes it is on COM 1 but I forgot the other port settings. Within the program you click TOOLS, OPTIONS, PORT SETUP.

There are 5 adjustable settings in there. I remember I used to have to change a couple of them for it to work but I forget which ones AND what settings to choose.

Thanks again.

Ok. Let me give you mine. Maybe you can duplicate it and it will work?

Bit per sec. -4800
Data bits-8
Parity-None
Stop bits-1
Flow control-None

Why not buy a remote control for it so you can avoid 5the bounce issue?

They are $99
