[aprssig] Re:OT - Rigblaster Interface

[Ralph Milnes]

What serial port (COM port) are you using?

Any other software using that COM port -- PDA software, etc?

Can you use a voltmeter to determine which pin has voltage on it and what
that voltage is? (Pin should be either 7 or 4; ground should be 5).
