If the amplifier has MAINs power ON, and the garbage string includes the "D" character, the amplifier gets stuck in a firmware Download mode. Electraft makes it WAY TOO EASY for this to happen, so as a standard operating procedure, I recommend you power up this Arduino FIRST, wait 5 seconds, before applying MAINs power to the amp. Reverse on power shutdown. +Note - version Release 3.01 includes delayed output on an I/O pin that may be used to power up serial port as an option instead of powering the serial 232 board off the standard 5v pin. + In the spirit of HAM radio- this code is free. 73s.
