I'm using PstRotator with Omnirig to control my new FT-857D.  I managed to get the computer and radio to connect, but I cannot get the TX and RX frequencies to display on the OmniRig side of PstRotator,  My settings are...
Rig Type: FT-857
Port: COM 3
Baud Rate: 4800
Data Bits 8
Parity: None
Stop Bits: 1
RTS: Low
DTR: High
Poll int ms: 500
Timeout: 4000

When in connects to the radio it only shows the RX frequency in OmniRig and it keeps changing the radios VFO to display a shortened frequency number... instead of 145.950 it shows 145.95.   I then get a TX ERROR msg when you push the PTT and I end doing a reset to get the radio out of this mode.  I'm stumped...
