[amsat-bb] Yaesu GS-232B Rotor Interface to computer RS-232C Port Help!

[cbs045 at charter.net]

Hello list members,
I have a new Yaesu GS-232B I'm having connection issues and could use
some help.
My system is a Dell XPS running Windows 7 Pro. Terminal emulator is
PuTTY.exeThis computer uses a real RS-232C port set to the only choice
of COM1. No COM2 port, parallel or printer ports are used with this
machine.
Port settings are 9600 baud, 8 bit, no parity, hardware control set to
none.
I'm sure my computer, RS-232C port and strait RS-232C cables are good
because I have no trouble connecting to another device. (Juniper
CTP-1002 router)I tried all combinations of hardware control options,
port speeds and always get a blank screen with only a cursor when
connected to the Yaesu GS-232B.

Anybody have any suggestions what I might be overlooking?
Thank You,
N8OCX
