That was my initial thought as well. I tested the FP10 with my desktop and a serial cable, and all was well at 4800/8/n/1.

The interesting thing was whan I tried the goddard cable with Condor on my PC, I got the same jibberish coming through on the oudie cable.

If it's jibberish, I would expect you have a mismatch in the data

I was in the process of upgrading my panel with my new to me Tasman

i think), and it was working fine at first, but now I am just seeing
jibberish being transmitted when I go into terminal mode in see you on the
Oudie. I have tried the Naviter cable, and the FP10 is working correctly as
that cable transmits the data without issue.

Did I possibly fry my goddard cable???
