P3: No workee - almost fixed

[Ralph Parker]

Well, more-or-less fixed.
W4TV was the first to suggest setting all the RS-232 rates to 38400, and
now the communications problem is fixed. Hooray!!
Now to download the new firmware (it came with 1.13).

One last problem:
The IF display is off the bottom of the screen - I can only see the peaks
of the stronger signals (and not 7O6T).
I just did the IF output gain mod, and at one point the displayed spectrum
rose above the baseline, but it's gone back down again. I don't seem to be
able to find a setting that would change the 'vertical position' of the trace.
While adjusting the "SCALE", the trace pops up for a second or so, then
disappears back down again.

Tnx for all your help.

Ralph, VE7XF
