This is explained on the EQMOD site.
Thanks Ray. I then assume that the RJ12 I have is not sending the signals from the ZWO to the correct pins on the SYNSCAN unit then. I think the ST4 option sounds the simplest but finding an ST4 cable may be hard if the connections cross over from end to end. still confused here.
