[DogParkList] MacloggerDX 5.X and Icom 7800

[Steve Hellyer]

Hi Jeff,

Yes sign up to mailing list so we can all help (http://two.pairlist.net/mailman/listinfo/dogparklist 
  ).  Many othera with experience with same gear or similar. Your  
going to have to set to 1 stop bit NOT 2 as Don suggested.  I am using  
with a Kenwood currently (my IC-7000 out of service in my garage as  
working on building a new portable digital shack with it) but many  
other on here have icoms.
