What application are you using Karl?
Nexstar remote, Stellarium, something else...
I've bodgied up a connection cable from a spare Meade one I made, just had to change the pinouts on the DB9 connector...
Strange thing is it will communicate with the scope through the handset when in normal running mode (or at least with NSOL) but, when I put the handset into data transfer mode using HCUpdate I get a Commport error...
I cleared all my commports & tried it again but, no joy.. the soldering on the bodgied cable is a bit rubbish but, it works in normal mode, allowed me to send slew commands using NSOL so, not sure what is going on there..
At least if I decide I want to buy a cable, the Celestron one is $29.. unlike Meade at $75 hence why I made one...
Cheers
